$(d)$ Items 4 & 5: Issue of Options to Executive Directors $\&$ joint Chief Executive Officers
$(i)$ Background
Resolutions 4 and 5 set out in the Notice seek Shareholder approval to the grant of Options to Mr Andrew Bassat and Mr Paul Bassat, being Executive Directors and joint Chief Executive Officers of the Company, for the purpose of Listing Rule $10.14.$
On 31 July 2008 the Company announced that, in accordance with the terms of the Plan, it had invited both Mr Andrew Bassat and Mr Paul Bassat to participate in the Company's long-term incentive arrangements ("LTI Arrangements") by offering each of them rights to acquire Ordinary Shares if certain performance conditions are achieved. The invitation made to Mr Andrew Bassat and Mr Paul Bassat is conditional on Shareholder approval.
The Board established the Plan prior to the Company's admission to the official list of ASX. The Plan plays an important part of the Company's approach to the remuneration, motivation, reward and retention of key employees of the Company.
Further information about the Company's approach on remuneration can be found in the Remuneration Report.
The Company's initial public offer prospectus set out the terms of the Plan which was originally developed in conjunction with independent remuneration consultants and was approved by the Board in March 2005. The terms of the Plan were amended on 27 June 2008 to give the Company the flexibility to either issue new Ordinary Shares or acquire them on market to satisfy its obligations on the exercise of Options and to apply disposal restrictions on the Ordinary Shares issued under the Plan as the Board considers appropriate from time to time.
The Board believes that the grant of Options to Mr Andrew Bassat and Mr Paul Bassat is consistent with the Company's remuneration policies and objectives, reflect good market practice in executive remuneration and more effectively aligns the interests of Mr Andrew Bassat and Mr Paul Bassat with those of the Company.
$(ii)$ Level of participation by Mr Andrew Bassat and Mr Paul Bassat
Mr Andrew Bassat and Mr Paul Bassat participate in a separate employment and options agreement contract covering the period 1 January 2005 to 1 January 2009. The Board considered that the Joint Chief Executive Officers should participate in employment and options contracts on a similar basis and conditions as the other senior executives in the business. The Joint CEO's remuneration has been transitioned from 1 January review dates to 30 June reviews and as their participation in their current long term incentive arrangement is to finish 1 January 2009 their proposed new LTI Arrangement is being transitioned to the SEEK Performance Rights and Options Plan, which is the Plan used to provide the Company's senior management with long term incentives. The proposed issue of Options to the Joint CEO's recognises the transition from a January 2009 vesting date to the normal 30 June 2009 year end date.
If Shareholder approval is received, the Company will grant 1,045,530 Options to Mr Andrew Bassat and 1,045,530 Options to Mr Paul Bassat on the terms and conditions of the Plan and the LTI Arrangements, details of which are summarised in paragraph 2(d)(iii) below.
The Options will be held in trust by the trustee of the SEEK Employee Share Trust ("Trust"), CPU Share Plans Pty Limited, on the terms and conditions of the Plan and the trust deed establishing the Trust.
Each of Mr Andrew Bassat and Mr Paul Bassat currently hold 787,500 existing options and directly and indirectly, through entities associated with them, hold 11,215,337 Ordinary Shares. At the date of the Notice, they each have a relevant interest in 4.12% of the total voting rights in the Company, on a fully diluted basis, If Shareholder's approve the grant of these Options to Mr Andrew Bassat and Mr Paul Bassat and these Options are exercised by each of them, based on the total number of Ordinary Shares as at the date of the Notice including each other's Options their respective relevant interests in the Company will increase to 4.5%. on a fully diluted basis.
$(iii)$ Key terms of Options
$(a)$ The Options will be issued to each of Mr Andrew Bassat and Mr Paul Bassat for no cash consideration as soon as possible after the AGM if Shareholders approve this resolution. In any event the Options will be issued no later than 12 months after the date of the AGM.
- $(b)$ 50% of the Options (522,765) granted to each of Mr Andrew Bassat and Mr Paul Bassat will be subject to the Company's relative TSR ("TSR Options"). The remaining 50% of the Options (522,765) granted to each of Mr Andrew Bassat and Mr Paul Bassat will be subject to the Company's earnings per share growth ("EPS Options").
- $(c)$ The TSR Options and EPS Options granted to each of Mr Andrew Bassat and Mr Paul Bassat will be performance tested as at three separate dates (each a "Testing Date") over three successive years as follows:
- 25% (261,382.5) of the total number of Options on 30 June 2009; (being 12.5% TSR and 12.5% EPS);
- 25% (261,382.5) of the total number of Options on 30 June 2010 (being 12.5% TSR and 12.5% EPS); and
- 50% (522,765) of the total number of Options on 30 June 2011 (being 25% TSR and 25% EPS),
and, as at each Testing Date, it will be necessary to round up or round down any fraction of an Option but there will be no change to the total number of Options issued to each of Mr Andrew Bassat and Mr Paul Bassat.
- $(d)$ If the Company achieves the performance targets set by the Board in respect of the TSR Options and the EPS Options, a specified percentage of the TSR Options and EPS Options will vest and be capable of exercise.
- $(e)$ The percentage of TSR Options capable of exercise by each of Mr Andrew Bassat and Mr Paul Bassat will be determined by calculating the Company's TSR in accordance with the TSR Formula over the relevant performance period ("Relevant Period") and measuring the Company's TSR over the Relevant Period against the TSR of the Peer Group.
- $(f)$ If the Company's TSR relative to the Peer Group TSR over the Relevant Period is ranked below the 50th percentile, TSR Options will not be capable of exercise.
- $\left( \rho \right)$ TSR Options will be capable of exercise in tranches if the Company's TSR relative to the Peer Group TSR over the Relevant Period is ranked at or above the 50th percentile as follows:
- at the 50th percentile, 50% of the vested TSR Options will be capable of exercise;
- above the 50th percentile but below the 75th percentile, 50% of the $\bullet$ vested TSR Options plus an additional 2% (or part thereof) for every percent (or part of a percent) that the Company's TSR relative to the Peer Group over the Relevant Period exceeds the 50th percentile will be capable of exercise; and
- at or above the 75th percentile, 100% of the vested TSR Options will be capable of exercise.
-
$(h)$ The percentage of EPS Options capable of exercise by each of Mr Andrew Bassat and Mr Paul Bassat will be determined by reference to the earnings per share of the Company ("EPS") during the Relevant Period.
-
$(i)$ For the purpose of paragraph $2(d)(iii)(h)$ above, the increase in EPS will be calculated by dividing the net profit after tax attributable to equity holders of the Company during the Relevant Period (excluding any costs of servicing equity other than Ordinary Shares) by the weighted average number of Ordinary Shares outstanding during the Relevant Period, adjusted for bonus elements in Ordinary Shares issued during that time.
- $(i)$ Minimum and maximum EPS targets for the Options have been set for each of the 3 years of the vesting period. The target for the third year, namely the year ended 30 June 2011, has been set at a minimum aggregate growth rate over the three year period of 47.0% and a maximum aggregate growth rate over the 3 year period of 58.6%.
- $(k)$ EPS Options will not be capable of exercise if at the relevant Testing Date the minimum target EPS aggregate growth rate has not been achieved:
- $(1)$ EPS Options will be capable of exercise in tranches if at the relevant Testing Date the EPS target for the Relevant Period has been achieved or exceeded as follows:
- if EPS is equal to the minimum target, 50% of the vested EPS Options will be capable of exercise;
- if EPS is equal to or exceeds the maximum target, 100% of the vested Options will be capable of exercise
- If the EPS is between the minimum and maximum targets, vested Options will be capable of exercise on a pro-rata basis between 50% and 100%.
- $(m)$ The performance conditions applying to TSR Options and EPS Options will be tested only once, and any TSR Options or EPS Options that do not meet the relevant performance conditions will lapse at the end of the relevant Performance Period and will not be re-tested.
- $(n)$ On the valid exercise of a vested Option, Mr Andrew Bassat and Mr Paul Bassat will be entitled to receive one Ordinary Share.
- The exercise price of each vested Option is \$5.29 being the volume weighted $(0)$ average price of the Company's Ordinary Shares traded on ASX on the 28 days up to but not including 1 July 2008.
- Subject to the performance conditions being satisfied and subject to $(p)$ paragraph 2(d)(iii)(r) Options may, unless otherwise waived by the Board, be exercised as follows:
- 25% on 30 June 2009; or
- 25% on 30 June 2010; or
- the remaining 50% on 30 June 2001.
-
$(q)$ Unless the Board of the Company determines otherwise, Options will not be transferable, nor quoted on ASX and will otherwise be issued on the terms set out in the Plan and the LTI Arrangements.
-
$(r)$ Options will automatically lapse if
- either Mr Andrew Bassat or Mr Paul Bassat (as the case requires) cease to be employed by the Company; or
- Options remain unexercised after five years from the date of grant.
- $(s)$ Ordinary Shares issued on the valid exercise of Options will rank, in all respects, equally with all other Ordinary Shares on issue.
- $(t)$ If there is a reorganisation of the Company's capital, the Options terms (including the exercise price or the number of Ordinary Shares that can be acquired on the exercise of an Option) will be adjusted, pursuant to the Listing Rules, to the extent necessary to reflect the effects of the reorganisation.
