Neither the Corporations Act nor SGH’s Constitution requires a vote of shareholders on the reports. However, shareholders will be given an opportunity to raise questions or comments on the management of SGH.

A reasonable opportunity will also be given to shareholders as a whole at the Annual General Meeting to ask SGH’s auditor questions relevant to the conduct of the audit, the preparation and content of the auditor’s report, the accounting policies adopted by SGH in relation to the preparation of the financial statements and the independence of the auditor in relation to the conduct of the audit.

Item 6 Remuneration Report

Directors’ recommendation

The Board unanimously recommends that members VOTE IN FAVOUR of adopting the Remuneration Report.

The Corporations Act requires listed companies to put the Remuneration Report for each financial year to a resolution of members at their Annual General Meeting. The Remuneration Report for the year ended 30 June 2025 can be found on pages 69 to 91 of SGH’s 2025 Annual Report and covers director and executive remuneration.

Under the Corporations Act, the vote on the Remuneration Report is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or SGH and does not affect the employment arrangements in place for employees of SGH and its subsidiaries. The Board will consider the outcome of the vote and comments made by members on the Remuneration Report at the meeting when reviewing SGH’s remuneration policies.

A reasonable opportunity will be provided for discussion of the Remuneration Report at the meeting.

In summary, the Remuneration Report:

  • explains the Board’s approach to executive remuneration and the link to company performance and shareholder outcomes;

  • explains the Board’s policy for determining the nature and amount of remuneration of Key Management Personnel of SGH (including Directors);

  • explains the relationship between the Board’s remuneration policy, SGH’s performance and incentives for Key Management Personnel;

  • details the remuneration framework which explains the reward elements and any performance conditions applicable to the remuneration of the Key Management Personnel of SGH; and

  • sets out remuneration details for the Key Management Personnel of SGH.

Voting exclusion statement

SGH will disregard any votes cast on Item 6:

  • as a proxy by a person who is a member of the Key Management Personnel of SGH at the date of the meeting or any of their Closely Related Parties,

  • unless the vote is cast as proxy for a person entitled to vote on Item 6:

  • in accordance with a direction on the proxy form; or

  • by the Chairman of the meeting pursuant to an express authorisation to vote as the proxy as he sees fit, even though Item 6 is connected with the remuneration of the Key Management Personnel.

The Chairman of the meeting intends to vote all undirected proxies in favour of this Item of Business.

Item 7

Grant of deferred share rights under the FY25 Short‑Term Incentive (“STI”) Plan for the Managing Director & Chief Executive Officer (“MD&CEO”)

SGH operates the SGH STI plan to provide short‑term incentives to senior executives, based on performance relative to corporate and individual goals over SGH’s financial year. Under the key terms of the STI plan, 50 per cent of the STI award for the MD&CEO, Mr. Ryan Stokes AO, is deferred into deferred share rights.

Further details regarding the STI plan and the FY25 STI award are set out in the Remuneration Report on pages 69 to 91 of SGH’s 2025 Annual Report.

Why is shareholder approval being sought?

Under ASX Listing Rule 10.14, shareholder approval is required in order for a director to be issued securities under an employee incentive scheme. As the terms of the STI grant to Mr Ryan Stokes AO require that the securities to satisfy the STI award be purchased on market, shareholder approval is not required for the purposes of the ASX Listing Rules. However, in the interests of transparency and good governance, the Board has determined to seek shareholder approval for the grant of securities to Mr Ryan Stokes AO.

Summary of the key terms of the Grant of Deferred Share Rights

A brief overview of the key terms of the proposed grant under the STI plan is set out in Table 1 on the following page.

Voting exclusion statement

SGH will disregard any votes on Item 7:

  • cast in favour of the resolutions by or on behalf of Mr Ryan Stokes AO (being the only Director eligible to participate in the STI plan) or any of his associates regardless of the capacity in which the vote is cast; or

  • cast as a proxy by any of the Key Management Personnel of SGH at the date of the meeting or their Closely Related Parties, unless the vote is cast on Item 7:

  • as proxy or attorney for a person entitled to vote on the resolution in accordance with a direction given to the proxy or attorney to vote on the resolution in that way; or

  • by the Chairman of the meeting as proxy for a person entitled to vote on the resolution, pursuant to an express authorisation in the proxy form to exercise the proxy as the Chairman decides even though Item 7 is connected with the remuneration of the Key Management Personnel of; or

  • by a holder acting solely in a nominee, trustee, custodial or other fiduciary capacity on behalf of a beneficiary provided the following conditions are met:

  • the beneficiary provides written confirmation to the holder that the beneficiary is not excluded from voting, and is not an associate of a person excluded from voting on the resolution; and

  • the holder votes on the resolution in accordance with directions given by the beneficiary to the holder to vote in that way.

The Chairman of the meeting intends to vote all undirected proxies in favour of this Item of Business.

  • by or on behalf of a member of SGH’s Key Management Personnel named in the Remuneration Report for the year ended 30 June 2025, or their Closely Related Parties regardless of the capacity in which the vote is cast; or

Table 1: Summary of the key terms of the Grant of Deferred Share Rights

----- Start of picture text -----

Details of the The MD & CEO, Mr Ryan Stokes AO, participated in the STI plan in respect of FY25 (“FY25 STI”).
Proposed All awards are subject to satisfying SGH’s underlying EBIT gateway and achievement of a balanced scorecard of measurable and
STI grant quantifiable individual targets. In cases of outperformance, the Board may grant an above target award amount. Under the STI plan,
50 per cent of the FY25 STI that has been earned is delivered as a cash bonus to the MD & CEO, and the remaining 50 per cent is
delivered in deferred share rights as the deferred equity component of his STI.
Accordingly, Mr Ryan Stokes AO is entitled to receive $1,013,057 of deferred share rights (being the “Grant Value” of the deferred share
rights component of his FY25 STI). The number of deferred share rights to be allocated to Mr Ryan Stokes will be a maximum of 18,922
based on an allocation value of $53.5395.
The number of deferred share rights issued for Executives has been determined by dividing the Grant Value by SGH’s five‑day VWAP
(Volume Weighted Average Price) on 30 June 2025, adjusted to reflect that share rights do not entitle the holder to dividends on the
underlying shares until the share rights vest and shares are acquired. A deferred share right is a right to acquire one ordinary share in SGH.
Mr Ryan Stokes AO will not be entitled to vote nor be paid dividends in respect of those unvested deferred share rights.
Grant Date SGH intends that the deferred share rights will be allocated to Mr Ryan Stokes AO on or about 1 December 2025, but in any event,
within 12 months after the date of the meeting.
Vesting of Deferred share rights issued under the STI will convert to ordinary shares following SGH’s results release for the following financial year
Shares (i.e. FY26) on or around 13 August 2026.
Cessation of If Mr Ryan Stokes AO ceases employment with SGH due to termination for cause, gross misconduct or any other reason determined by
Employment the Board, all unvested deferred share rights will lapse.
If Mr Ryan Stokes AO ceases employment other than for the reasons outlined above, the share rights may not lapse, unless the Board
determines otherwise.
Mr Ryan ASX Listing Rule 10.15.4 requires this Notice of Meeting to include details (including the amount) of the current total FY25 remuneration of
Stokes’ Total Mr Ryan Stokes AO which is:
Remuneration
Package for Fixed Annual Remuneration (“FAR”) $1,900,000 p.a.

Long‑term incentive grant $2,850,000 – 150% of FAR
Full details on the remuneration of Mr Ryan Stokes AO are contained within the Remuneration Report.
Other No loan arrangements are entered into with Mr Ryan Stokes AO in relation to deferred share rights granted under the STI plan. The only
Information Director of SGH who is eligible to receive deferred share rights under the STI plan is Mr Ryan Stokes AO.
31,240 deferred share rights were granted to Mr Ryan Stokes AO under the FY24 STI plan and vested on 13 August 2025. The average
acquisition price was nil as the grants form part of Mr Ryan Stokes AO’s remuneration.

Item 8 Proposed increase in limit of aggregate Non Executive Directors’ Fees

ASX Listing Rule 10.17 and clause 8.5(a) of SGH’s Constitution requires shareholders to approve any increase in the total amount of Non Executive Directors’ (“NEDs”) remuneration that can be paid each year. The current limit of aggregate annual remuneration payable to NEDs of $2,800,000 was last reviewed at SGH’s 2022 Annual General Meeting. It is proposed to increase the maximum aggregate annual remuneration of the Non‑Executive Directors is increased by $200,000 to $3,000,000.

Details of SGH’s approach and the amount of remuneration paid to NEDs is disclosed in the Remuneration Report contained within the Directors’ Report, in SGH’s 2025 Annual Report.

The NEDs are remunerated via Board and Committee fees which are reviewed annually. SGH’s Board and Committee fees are inclusive of statutory superannuation and reflect the time commitment and responsibilities involved, taking into account market rates for comparable publicly listed companies. NEDs do not receive payments on their retirement from office other than payments accruing from superannuation contributions comprising part of their remuneration.

NED fees are benchmarked against ASX100 listed entities with similar revenues and market capitalisation as SGH. The benchmarking also considers the complexity of SGH’s structure and the industry sectors in which we operate.

SGH is mindful of ensuring that the level of fees SGH may offer keeps pace with market conditions, given that contemporary regulatory demands have increased the responsibilities placed on NEDs and the time committed to their duties. The proposed increase to the aggregate annual remuneration payable to NEDs would allow flexibility for market increases in the future and support the capacity for SGH to appoint up to two additional suitably qualified NEDs as required, as well as allowing for better succession planning by facilitating the appointment of a new NED before the retirement of an existing NED.

It is also relevant that under SGH’s Constitution a maximum of 12 Directors may be appointed to the Board. The proposed aggregate fee increase will provide the appropriate remuneration capacity to satisfy the appointment of additional NEDs to the Board, if so approved, to ensure that the Board remains comprised of high calibre Directors with a mix of skills, strategic competencies, qualifications and experience to oversee SGH’s diverse range of operations and investments.

No securities have been issued to a Non‑Executive Director of SGH with the approval of shareholders in the preceding three years or prior to that. Given the interest of the non-executive Directors in this matter, the Board does not consider it appropriate to make a recommendation in relation to this resolution.

Subject to the voting exclusion statement below, the Chairman of the meeting intends to vote all undirected proxies in favour of the resolution.

Voting exclusion statement

SGH will disregard any votes cast on the proposed resolution in Item 8:

  • by or on behalf of a Director of SGH and any of their associates regardless of the capacity in which the vote is cast; or

  • as a proxy by any of the key management personnel of SGH at the date of the meeting or their Closely Related Parties.

However, SGH need not disregard a vote cast if:

  • it is cast by a person as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with the directions on the proxy form; or

  • it is cast by the Chairman of the Meeting as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote pursuant to an express authorisation to vote as the proxy decides.

You are entitled to appoint up to two proxies to attend the meeting and vote. If you wish to appoint a second proxy, an additional Proxy Form may be obtained by contacting the company’s securities registry or you may copy this form.

STEP 3: SIGN THE FORM

The form must be signed as follows:

Individual: This form is to be signed by the securityholder.

Joint Holding : where the holding is in more than one name, all the securityholders should sign.

Power of Attorney: to sign under a Power of Attorney, you must have already lodged it with the registry. Alternatively, 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. Where the company has a Sole Director who is also the Sole Company Secretary, this form should be signed by that person. Please indicate the office held by signing in the appropriate place.

STEP 4: LODGEMENT

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 forms together.

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 he or she chooses. 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 meeting must have provided an “Appointment of Corporate Representative” prior to admission. An Appointment of Corporate Representative form can be obtained from the company’s securities registry.

Proxy forms (and any Power of Attorney under which it is signed) must be received no later than 48 hours before the commencement of the meeting, therefore 10:00am (AEDT) on Tuesday, 11 November 2025. Any Proxy Form received after that time will not be valid for the scheduled meeting.
