Ricegrowers Limited ABN 55 007 481 156
Notice of B Class Meeting
Letter from the Chairman
Dear B Class Shareholders
I am pleased to announce that the 2020 B Class Meeting of Ricegrowers Limited (ABN 55 007 481 156) ("the Company") will be held at 12.20pm (AEST) or immediately after the Company's Annual General Meeting that is due to start at 10.30am (AEST) (whichever time is later) on Friday, 28 August 2020 ("B Class Meeting" or "Meeting").
It is currently intended that the B Class Meeting will be held at and broadcast from Jerilderie Civic Hall, 33 Jerilderie Street, Jerilderie, New South Wales. Given the restrictions in force and the uncertainty and potential health risks arising from the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, we have introduced new ways for shareholders to participate in the Meeting. You will be able to watch the Meeting, ask questions in real-time and vote on resolutions by using the online platform. Information on how to access the online platform is set out in this Notice under 'Additional Information'.
As highlighted in our 2020 Annual Report (enclosed), the Financial Year ended 30 April 2020 was an extraordinary one for the Group. In the face of a range of challenges – including deteriorating conditions in key global markets (particularly in the Pacific), continued extremely small Riverina crops due to drought, low water availability and high water prices, natural disasters (including the Australian bushfires) and the impacts of COVID-19 – there was strong performance. Profitability has been maintained, a fully franked dividend of 33 cents per B Class Share has been declared, and our 2022 Growth Strategy continued to be delivered.
Conditions in the Riverina
Despite one of the best starts to Autumn seen for many years, we appreciate that our A Class Shareholders and other rice growers in the Riverina continue to face some extremely difficult conditions. The impact of drought, low water availability and high water prices in the past two years have led to our third and second-smallest Riverina crops on record in CY19 and CY20 and, as we look ahead to CY21, allocations currently remain low and water prices are high.
SunRice took significant steps in 2019 to offer fixed price contracts ahead of the CY20 growing season, of between $750 to $1500 per tonne depending on varieties. This decision enabled us to secure approximately 45,000 paddy tonnes, including enough seed to plant an 800,000 tonne crop should conditions improve, and also paddy to maintain a limited milling program in Deniliquin and Leeton.
While we are optimistic of the predictions of increased rainfall over the coming months playing out, there needs to be a significant increase to inflows and corresponding allocations in order to improve conditions sufficiently to support a large CY21 Riverina rice crop. We have received strong feedback from our Riverina growers in relation to pricing, including through the findings of a survey from the Ricegrowers' Association of Australia (RGA).
The Management team has been working on pricing and contracting arrangements, and we expect to be in a position to communicate with growers in coming weeks in relation to the CY21 season. Our intention, should conditions continue to improve, is that in addition to fixed price contracts, we will also have availability of a pool for the CY21 season.
While there have been ongoing drought conditions, there is growing evidence that the allocation yield of NSW General Security water entitlements has been significantly eroded due to Australian water reform. Despite assurances contained in the 2004 National Water Initiative, the burden of these NSW and Federal reforms are not being shared equally.
This, combined with the complexity and lack of clarity in the water allocation process, has led to a loss of confidence by our Riverina growers in management of the southern connected Murray-Darling Basin system.
As such, the Board intensified its advocacy efforts with the NSW and Federal Governments over the past year to address these unintended consequences, and will continue to do so on your behalf in conjunction with the RGA.
Resolutions for the 2020 Annual General Meeting and B Class Shareholder Meeting
As we look forward, there continues to be significant uncertainty as a consequence of COVID-19 and deteriorating economic conditions in key global markets. The Board remains focused on driving performance of the business in the face of these headwinds, and continuing to deliver value for both A and B Class Shareholders.
As such, the Board is proposing a number of resolutions at this year's Annual General Meeting (and the separate meeting of B Class Shareholders) which are focused on reducing the size of the Board to align the company with best practice governance principles, and to ensure stability and certainty moving forward.
I outline the proposals in more detail below. Please note only A Class Shareholders are entitled to vote on the resolutions before the Annual General Meeting and only B Class Shareholders are entitled to vote on the resolution before the B Class Meeting.
Board structure
I have consulted with A Class Shareholders regarding the proposal to reduce the size of the SunRice Board. I am pleased to report that there has been strong support expressed, including from the Ricegrowers' Association of Australia Central Executive, which on 14 July 2020 passed a unanimous motion in support.
The Board has regular reviews of its performance. At the last review, one of the strongest recommendations was to reduce the number of Board Directors from 11 to 9. The Board is strongly of the view that there should always be a majority of Grower Directors and supports this reduction, which would result in three Non-Grower (Independent) Directors, one Executive Director and five Grower Directors.
If approved by A Class Shareholders at the 2020 and 2021 Annual General Meetings, the proposal would result in one Rice Marketing Board of NSW (RMB) Director not being appointed to the SunRice Board in 2021 (at the expiry of the current term of RMB Directors) and then reducing the number of SunRice Grower Directors by one when the SunRice Grower Director elections next take place in 2023. Both reductions will require a change to our Constitution and in line with the commitments that were made when we listed on the ASX, only A Class Shareholders have the right to do this. The required resolutions will need at least 75% support of A Class Shareholders.
SunRice has a long history of modifying our Board to ensure that we make decisions in the best interests of our growers and shareholders. By way of example, in 1986 there were 16 Directors on the SunRice Board. This was reduced over the years to 10 prior to our listing on the ASX last year, when the number was increased to 11 by adding an additional Independent Director. The addition of the Independent Director was made to reflect the increasing importance of our international operations. We believe a reduction to 9 Directors will continue to improve our efficiency as a Board.
Continued
The SunRice Board has consulted with the RMB in relation to this proposal, and it is supportive. On the basis of the positive feedback we have received during recent weeks, and the support of the RGA and RMB, the SunRice Board has determined to put the resolution to the 2020 Annual General Meeting for approval of A Class Shareholders.
Re-election of Independent Non-Executive Directors
Currently, the terms of all three of SunRice's Independent Non-Executive Directors (NEDs) are due to expire at the same time, with all three positions up for re-election at the 2021 Annual General Meeting. In order to align with best practice governance and to ensure continuity, the Board has determined that two Independent NEDs will stand for re-election at the 2020 Annual General Meeting for terms of two and three years respectively.
This will then ensure that moving forward one Independent NED will stand for re-election at the Annual General Meeting each year, as opposed to having all three standing for re-election once every three years.
Accordingly, Ian Glasson and Luisa Catanzaro will be standing for re-election at the 2020 Annual General Meeting, seeking the support of A Class Shareholders for terms of three and two years, respectively. More detail regarding their biographies and experience is included in the Notice of Meeting.
Continuity of the CEO
With the conclusion of CEO Rob Gordon's current Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTI Plan) performance period on 30 April 2021, the Board believes it imperative to put in place the next LTI Plan to retain the CEO and ensure continuity, particularly with the forthcoming period of uncertainty due to COVID-19 and ongoing low production in the Riverina. Accordingly, the Board has invited Mr Gordon to participate in a new three-year LTI Plan commencing on 1 May 2021.
Since commencing as CEO in 2012, Mr Gordon has demonstrated strong leadership to SunRice through increases to paddy prices paid to Riverina growers and strong financial performance in both favourable and challenging market conditions. Mr Gordon also oversaw the successful listing of the SunRice Group on the Australian Securities Exchange in April 2019. He has developed the 2022 Growth Strategy, to further diversify the Group's earnings and deliver increased value to both A and B Class Shareholders, and is now leading execution of that strategy. This includes leveraging SunRice's strong balance sheet to continue pursuing value-accretive merger and acquisition opportunities. He has also diversified SunRice's international rice sourcing capabilities to ensure growing global demand for branded products can be met across its approximately 50 international markets.
The Board will be seeking approval for the granting of B Class Share rights to Mr Gordon under the new LTI Plan at the B Class Shareholder meeting to be held immediately following the SunRice Group's 2020 Annual General Meeting.
Arrangements for the 2020 Meetings
I encourage shareholders to weigh up the current restrictions and health concerns due to COVID-19 before they decide to attend the Meetings in person. The intention at this point is that shareholders will have the ability to attend in person at the Jerilderie Civic Hall should they wish to, or electronically through the online platform. You can also lodge direct or proxy votes prior the Meeting if you do not wish to attend. Should shareholders wish to attend in person, they will need to RSVP given capacity constraints of the venue due to COVID-19 restrictions. Further details on how to do this will be made available closer to the Meetings.
If it becomes necessary or appropriate to make alternative arrangements, including any change to the location or format of the meeting (to being virtual-only), we will make an announcement on the ASX and on the Company's website. We will also contact shareholders who have provided their email address to us, via email. Please contact Link Market Services if you wish to update your contact details or if you would like to update your preferences in order to receive communications electronically. Contact details for Link Market Services are set out at the end of this Notice of Meeting.
We intend to strictly follow any government advice or requirements in force at the time of the Meeting and will take any additional measures considered appropriate for the safety of shareholders, employees, directors, venue staff and the public.
To lodge your direct vote or appoint a proxy, please follow the instructions in the attached 'Voting Information Schedule'. Direct votes and proxy appointments must be received by 12.20pm (AEST) on Wednesday 26 August 2020.
Shareholders are also encouraged to submit questions in advance of the Meetings by no later than 5pm AEST on Friday 21 August 2020 either:
Online: www.linkmarketservices.com.au
By Mail: Ricegrowers Limited C/- Link Market Services Limited Locked Bag A14, Sydney South NSW 1235; or

By Fax: +61 29287 0309
I will cover as many of the most frequently raised questions as possible in my Chairman's address, which will be lodged with the ASX prior to the Annual General Meeting.

Explanatory Notes
Resolution 1 - Long Term Incentive Award for the CEO
The Company is seeking the approval of B Class Shareholders for the grant of the CEO's Long Term Incentive ("LTI") Award under SunShares, the SunRice Group's LTI Scheme, on the term set out below. The LTI Award is designed to create longterm value for the Company and shareholders. The LTI is an equity-based plan, whereby eligible participants are allocated rights that vest over a three-year term, subject to the achievement of a mix of service and performance criteria.
With the CEO's current LTI plan vesting on 30 April 2021 (post the audited financial results), the Board wishes to put in place the next LTI Plan to ensure retention, and to de-risk the company, particularly in the current challenging environment impacted by consecutive years of drought and the global pandemic - Covid19.
| Number of Rights | Mr Gordon will receive 550,000 rights to receive fully paid ordinary B Class Shares or anequivalent cash payment ("Rights"). Mr Gordon is not required to pay any amount to receiveRights. It is intended that Rights will be issued to Mr Gordon following the B Class Meeting andin any event no later than 3 years after the B Class Meeting. |
|---|---|
| Vesting Period andVesting Dates | The total Vesting Period covers the financial period of 1 May 2021 to 30 April 2024. Subject tothe terms of the LTI Award and the satisfaction of performance conditions, half of the Rightswill vest after 18 months on around 1 November 2022 ("First Vesting Date") and the remaininghalf will vest after 36 months on around 1 May 2024 ("Second Vesting Date"). Vesting is subjectto cessation of employment and other offer terms that are described below. |
| Vesting Conditions | The Board will determine the performance conditions that apply to the Rights. It will selecthurdles that are aligned to the Group's strategic objectives and financial performance, whichare designed to align LTI outcomes with the Company's performance and shareholderoutcomes. |
| It is currently expected that the performance conditions will be structured around thefollowing categories: | |
| •Value creation for investors (based on unadjusted return on capital employedmeasured against a weighted average cost of capital measure); | |
| •Maximising Grower Return over time; | |
| •Strategic growth into new markets and/or new product development; and | |
| •Management succession and organisational development. | |
| The Board will assess performance at the end of each Vesting Period (i.e. the 18 month periodand 36 month period starting from 1 May 2021). This assessment is subject to the discretion ofthe Board, which may adjust outcomes or include or exclude items if the Board considers itappropriate to better reflect shareholder expectations or management performance. There willbe no retesting and any Rights that do no vest will automatically lapse. | |
| Entitlement onVesting and Exercise | Mr Gordon will be entitled to exercise any Rights that vest within 7 years from the date thatRights are issued. Nothing is payable to exercise vested Rights. On exercise, Mr Gordon willreceive an additional dividend equivalent grant to reflect the notional dividend on B ClassShares over the relevant Vesting Period. No dividend grant is made in respect of Rights that donot vest. |
| B Class Sharesallocated on Exercise(including dividendequivalent grant) | Mr Gordon will be entitled, on the exercise of each Right, to that number, or that number andfraction thereof, of B Class Shares equal to one B Class Share plus that number, or thatnumber and fraction thereof, of B Class Shares that Mr Gordon would have received ifdividends as announced to ASX had been paid during the relevant Vesting Period on the BClass Shares and reinvested in B Class Shares, applying the formula set out in clause 2.7 of theCompany's Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRP) (whether nor not the DRP is operative at therelevant time) assuming a discount of 0.0%. Any fractions will be rounded down to the nearestwhole number of B Class Shares. |
An illustrative example of how the award of B Class Shares and the dividend equivalent grant will be calculated (in respect of any Rights that vest and are exercised) is set out in Attachment 1.
| Cessation of | Unless the Board determines otherwise, if Mr Gordon ceases employment: |
|---|---|
| employment | •before the First Vesting Date then unvested Rights will immediately lapse; |
| •between the First Vesting Date and the Second Vesting Date as a "good leaver" then apro-rata number of unvested Rights will remain on foot and vest in the ordinary course;and | |
| •between the First Vesting Date and Second Vesting Date other than as a "good leaver"then any unvested Rights will immediately lapse. | |
| Any vested Rights remain exercisable and subject to the original terms of the LTI Award. | |
| Other material terms | Mr Gordon has no entitlement to dividends (other than through the dividend equivalent grantreferred to above) or voting rights until vested Rights are exercised and B Class Shares areallocated. Mr Gordon will be free to deal with any B Class Shares allocated to him, subject tothe law and the Company's Share Trading Policy from time to time. The Board has discretionto vest some or all of Mr Gordon's Rights in change of control circumstances. If there is anactual change in control of the Company before the First Vesting Date, 50% of the Rights willvest, and between the First Vesting Date and Second Vesting Date, 100% of the Rights will vest.On the occurrence of a change of control event, Mr Gordon will participate in that event asdetermined by the Board. The Board also has discretion to adjust Mr Gordon's Rights (and theterms attaching to Rights) and to exercise malus and clawback powers in certain situations. |

| If B Class Shareholder approval is not obtained, the Board will consider other methods toappropriately remunerate and incentivise Mr Gordon. Mr Gordon's LTI Award will also besubject to the Board determining that shareholders support the relevant parts of theCompany's remuneration arrangements in 2020. | |
| Selecting Rights for LTI AwardRights were selected for Mr Gordon's LTI Award because they create share price alignmentbetween Mr Gordon and shareholders but do not provide the full benefits of share ownership(such as dividend and voting rights) unless and until the Rights vest and are exercised and BClass Shares are awarded. The Company will apply a formula to value the Rights based on the5-trading-day volume weighted average price of B Class Shares to the day before the Rightsissue date. | |

How to Vote
It is currently intended that the Meetings will be held at and broadcast from Jerilderie Civic Hall, 33 Jerilderie Street, Jerilderie, New South Wales. Given the restrictions in force and the uncertainty and potential health risks arising from the COVID -19 pandemic, we have introduced new ways for shareholders to participate in the Meetings. You will be able to watch the Meeting, ask questions in real -time and vote on resolutions by using the online platform. Information on how to access the online platform is set out below. If it becomes necessary or appropriate to make alternative arrangements, including any change to the location or format of the Meetings, we will make an announcement on the ASX and on the Company's website.
You may vote at either Meeting (at which you are entitled to vote) by
- Attending the Meeting (in person or online) and voting;
- Casting your vote directly, either online or by using the corresponding Voting Form;
- Appointing a proxy to attend the Meeting and vote on your behalf, either online or by using the corresponding Voting Form;
- Appointing one attorney to attend the Meeting and vote on your behalf, using a power of attorney; or
- In the case of a corporate Shareholder, appointing a corporate representative to attend the Meeting and vote on your behalf, using a Certificate of Appointment of Corporate Representative.
Voting at the Meetings will be by way of poll, not a show of hands. Under the Constitution, on a poll:
- At a General Meeting, each A Class Shareholder has one vote. If you are appointed as proxy or attorney for one or more other A Class Shareholders, you will be entitled to cast your own vote and one vote for each of the A Class Shareholders you represent; and
- At a class meeting of B Class Shareholders, each B Class Shareholder has one vote for each B Class Share held.
a. Voting in person or online
To vote in person at a Meeting, you must attend that Meeting. You will be admitted to the Meeting and given a voting card at the point of entry on disclosure of your name and address.
You can also attend the meeting online and vote by logging into the virtual meeting sites:
For A Class shareholders: https://agmlive.link/SGLA20 For B Class Shareholders: https://agmlive.link/SGLB20
Instructions for voting online are detailed in the enclosed Online Guide.
b. Direct voting
You can directly cast your vote before the Meeting without attending the Meeting. The followingVoting Formsare enclose d :
- Annual General Meeting –White Voting Form
- B Class Meeting –Yellow Voting Form
To vote directly, mark 'Box A' in Step 1 of the Voting Form. For your vote on a resolution to be counted, you must complete the voting directions for that resolution by marking 'For' or 'Against' in Step 2. You should not mark both Box A and Box B. Only mark 'Box B' if you wish to vote by proxy (see below 'Voting by proxy').
Please refer to the enclosed Voting Forms for instructions on how to complete the forms. Note that if you:
- Mark Box A but do not provide a voting direction on any resolution in Step 2, the Chairman of the relevant Meeting will be deemed to be your appointed proxy for all resolutions; and
- Mark both Box A and Box B and you provide a voting direction on a resolution in Step 2, your direct vote will take priority over the proxy appointment.
A duly signed Voting Form (and, if the Voting Form is executed under a power of attorney, the original power of attorney or a certified copy of the power of attorney or other authority under which it is signed) MUST be lodged using the instructions on the Voting Form by 10.30am (AEST) on Wednesday 26 August 2020 to be effective for the Annual General Meeting or by 12.20pm (AEST) to be effective for the B Class Meeting.
c. Voting by proxy
If you are not able to attend a Meeting and do not cast a direct vote (see above) but still wish to vote, you can do so by appointing a proxy to attend and vote on your behalf at that Meeting. To appoint a proxy, you must mark 'Box B' in Step 1 of the relevant Voting Form.
A Class Shareholders may not appoint more than one proxy. B Class Shareholders that are entitled to cast two or more votes may appoint two proxies and may specify the proportion or number of votes each proxy is appointed to exercise. If no proportion or number is specified, each proxy may exercise half of the Shareholder's votes. A proxy need not be another Shareholder.
The lodging of a Voting Form to appoint a proxy will not preclude a Shareholder from attending in person and voting at the relevant Meeting if the Shareholder is entitled to vote. If the Shareholder votes on a resolution, their appointed proxy is not entitled to vote and must not vote as that holder's proxy on the resolution.
Please refer to the enclosed Voting Forms for instructions on how to complete the forms.
A duly signed Voting Form (and, if the Voting Form is executed under a power of attorney, the original power of attorney or a certified copy of the power of attorney or other authority under which it is signed) MUST be lodged using the instructions on the Voting Form by 10.30am (AEST) on Wednesday 26 August 2020 to be effective for the Annual General Meeting or by 12.20pm (AEST) to be effective for the B Class Meeting.
Further information on proxy forms and the Chairman of the Meeting
You can direct your proxy how to vote by marking 'For', 'Against' or 'Abstain' on each of the resolutions at Step 2 of the Voting Form. If you do not direct your proxy how to vote on a resolution, the proxy may vote, or abstain from voting, as he or she thinks fit on that resolution. If you instruct your proxy to abstain from voting, he or she is directed not to vote on your behalf, and the Shares the subject of the proxy appointment will not be counted in computing the required majority.
If you return your Voting Form:
- Without identifying a proxy at Box B, you will be taken to have appointed the Chairman of the Meeting as your proxy to vote on your behalf; or
- With a proxy identified at Box B but your proxy does not attend the Meeting, or does not vote on a poll in accordance with your instructions, the Chairman of the Meeting will act in place of your nominated proxy and vote in accordance with any directions on your Voting Form.
If you appoint the Chairman of the relevant Meeting as your proxy, or the Chairman becomes your proxy by default (as above), you can direct the Chairman how to vote by marking a box for the relevant resolution at Step 2. However, if you do not mark a box next to:
- Resolution 1 for the Annual General Meeting (Remuneration Report); or
- Resolution 1 for the B Class Meeting (Long Term Incentive Award for the CEO),
then by completing and submitting the Voting Form, you will be expressly authorising the Chairman of the relevant Meeting to vote as they see fit in respect of those resolutions even though they are connected with the remuneration of the Company's Key Management Personnel.
The Chairman of the Annual General Meeting intends to vote all available proxies in favour of the resolutions contained in the Notice of Annual General Meeting.
The Chairman of the B Class Meeting intends to vote all available proxies in favour of the resolution contained in the Notice of B Class Meeting.
d. Voting by attorney
You may appoint an attorney to vote at a Meeting. Your attorney need not be another Shareholder. Each attorney will have the right to vote on the poll and also to speak at the Meeting. Persons who are attending as an attorney should bring the original (or a certified copy) of the power of attorney or other authority under which it is signed to the Meeting, unless the Company has already noted it.
The original power of attorney, or a certified copy of the power of attorney, should be lodged by 10.30am (AEST) on Wednesday 26 August 2020 to be effective for the Annual General Meeting or by 12.20pm (AEST) to be effective for the B Class Meeting.
Your appointment of an attorney does not preclude you from attending in person and voting at the Meeting. If the Shareholder votes on any of the resolutions, their attorney is not entitled to vote and must not vote as that Shareholder's attorney on that resolution.
e. Voting by corporate representative
To vote at a Meeting, a Shareholder or proxy that is a corporation may appoint a person to act as its representative. The corporation must ensure that:
- It appoints an individual as its corporate representative to exercise its powers at the relevant Meeting in accordance with section 250D of the Corporations Act (a "Certificate of Appointment of Corporate Representative" can be obtained from the Share Registry and used for this purpose); and
- The Certificate of Appointment of Corporate Representative or equivalent written instrument appointing the corporate representative and executed in accordance with the corporation's Constitution must be provided to the Company or the Share Registry before the Meeting.
