Explanatory statement

General information

This explanatory statement is an important document and should be read carefully. It comprises part of, and should be read in conjunction with, the notice of the annual general meeting (AGM) of members of Service Stream Limited to be held on Wednesday 24 October 2018.

If you have any questions regarding the matters set out in this explanatory statement (or elsewhere in the notice of AGM), please contact the Company, or your stockbroker or other professional adviser.

1. Resolution 1 — Adoption of remuneration report

There will be an opportunity for shareholders at the meeting to comment on and ask questions about the remuneration report, which appears on pages 14 to 24 of the Company’s 2018 annual report. The vote on the proposed resolution adopting the remuneration report is advisory only and will not bind the Company nor its directors. However, the Board will take the outcome of the vote into consideration when reviewing the Company’s remuneration policy and practices.

The Corporations Act contains a ‘two strikes’ rule in relation to remuneration reports. Briefly, if at two consecutive AGMs 25% or more votes were cast against the resolution that the Company’s remuneration report be adopted, a ‘spill resolution’ must be put to the vote at that AGM. If 50% or more shareholders vote in favour of a “spill” then the entire Board (except the Managing Director) are required to stand for reelection at a further general meeting which must take place within 90 days.

At the Company’s 2017 AGM, approximately 3% of votes were cast against the resolution that the remuneration report be adopted. Accordingly, there is no requirement to allow for a possible spill resolution at this year’s AGM.

The directors recommend that shareholders vote in favour of resolution 1.

2. Resolution 2 — Re-election of Brett Gallagher

The Company’s constitution states the Company must hold an election of directors at each annual general meeting (rule 7.1(h)) and further that no director who is not a managing director may hold office beyond the third AGM following the meeting at which the director was last elected or re-elected (whichever is the later) (rule 7.1(f)). In determining the number of directors to retire, no account is to be taken of the Managing Director or of a director appointed as an addition to the existing directors and who only holds office until the next annual general meeting. A retiring director is eligible for re-election. In accordance with these requirements, Brett Gallagher retires by rotation at this year’s annual general meeting and, being eligible, stands for re-election.

Brett Gallagher was appointed as Non-Executive Director of Service Stream Limited in April 2010 and was appointed Chairman on 1 March 2015. Brett has over 20 years’ experience across the utility and facilities management industries, and was Managing Director and a shareholder of AMRS from 2003 until 2008 when that Group was acquired by Service Stream to form what is now Energy & Water.

Brett is a member of the Sustainability, Safety, Health and Environment Committee and holds directorships and interests in a number of private businesses that operate predominately in the utilities sector.

Brett has held no other listed company directorships in the last three years

The directors (other than Mr Gallagher) recommend that shareholders vote in favour of resolution 2.

NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

3. Resolution 3 — Re-election of Deborah Page AM

The Company’s constitution states the Company must hold an election of directors at each annual general meeting (rule 7.1(h)) and further that no director who is not a managing director may hold office beyond the third AGM following the meeting at which the director was last elected or re-elected (whichever is the later) (rule 7.1(f)). In determining the number of directors to retire, no account is to be taken of the Managing Director or of a director appointed as an addition to the existing directors and who only holds office until the next annual general meeting. A retiring director is eligible for re-election. In accordance with these requirements, Deborah Page retires by rotation at this year’s annual general meeting and, being eligible, stands for re-election.

Deborah Page, a Chartered Accountant, has held senior executive positions with the Commonwealth Bank, Allen, Allen & Hemsley, IBM and the Lend Lease Group and is a former KPMG partner. She brings expertise developed from finance and operational executive roles and from her professional background in external audit and corporate advisory. Since 2001 she has worked exclusively as a Non-Executive Director across a range of industries, including energy, insurance, financial services and property.

Deborah is Chairman of the Audit and Risk Committee and is a member of the Remuneration and Nomination Committee. Deborah is currently a Non-Executive Director of Brickworks Limited, Pendal Group Limited (previously known as BT Investment Management Limited) and GBST Holdings Limited.

During the last three years, Deborah held listed company directorship with Australian Renewable Fuels Limited (retired October 2015) and Investa Listed Fund Management Limited, responsible entity of Investa Office Fund (resigned April 2016).

The directors (other than Mrs Page) recommend that shareholders vote in favour of resolution 3.
