Ordinary business
Resolution 1 –
Remuneration Report
The Remuneration Report, as contained in the Company’s 2010/11 Annual Report, has been submitted to shareholders for consideration and adoption. Following consideration of the Remuneration Report, shareholders will be given an opportunity to ask questions about, or comment on, the Remuneration Report.
For those shareholders who did not elect to receive a printed copy, the Annual Report is published on the Suncorp Group website ( www.suncorpgroup.com.au ). It can be posted (free of charge) by contacting the share registry, Link Market Services Limited, on 1300 882 012 (+61 2 8280 7450 from outside Australia).
The Remuneration Report provides information on the following issues:
-
the policies adopted by the Board for determining the nature and amount of remuneration of directors and senior executives;
-
the relationship between the remuneration policies and the Company’s performance;
-
the performance conditions that apply to the different components of the remuneration structure, why those performance conditions were chosen and how performance is measured against them;
-
the basis of comparison used for assessing the Company’s performance relative to other companies; and
-
remuneration details for directors and senior executives.
The Board believes the Company’s remuneration policies and structure, as outlined in the Remuneration Report, are appropriate relative to the size of the Company, its business objectives and current and emerging market practices.
Shareholders should note that the vote will be advisory only and does not bind the Company or directors.
No votes may be cast on this resolution by members of the key management personnel of Suncorp Group (or their closely related parties). However, a vote may be cast by such a person as a proxy for a person who is entitled to vote on this resolution, appointed by way of a shareholder voting form that directs how the proxy is to vote on the resolution.
The Board will consider the outcome of the vote and comments made by shareholders on the Remuneration Report at the meeting when reviewing the Company’s remuneration policies. Under the Corporations Act 2001 , if 25% or more of votes that are cast are voted against the adoption of the Remuneration Report at two consecutive annual general meetings, shareholders will be required to vote at the second of those annual general meetings on a resolution (a “spill resolution”) that another meeting be held within 90 days at which all of the Company’s directors (other than the Managing Director and Group Chief Executive Officer) must be re-elected.
Any undirected proxies may be voted by the appointed proxies as they choose, subject to the following:
- Any undirected proxy in relation to Resolution 1 given to a director (other than the Chairman) or other member of the key management personnel of Suncorp Group (or any of their closely related parties), whose remuneration details are set out in the Remuneration Report, will not be voted on Resolution 1. To allow such a proxy to vote on Resolution 1, shareholders must specify how the proxy should vote by ticking ‘For’, ‘Against’ or ‘Abstain’ opposite that resolution on the shareholder voting form.
• If a shareholder appoints the Chairman as the shareholder’s proxy in relation to Resolution 1, but does not complete any of the boxes ‘For’, ‘Against’ or ‘Abstain’ opposite that resolution on the shareholder voting form, the shareholder will be directing the Chairman to vote in favour of Resolution 1, and the Chairman will vote in this way. If a shareholder wishes to appoint the Chairman as proxy with a direction to vote against, or to abstain from voting on Resolution 1, the shareholder should specify this by completing the ‘Against’ or ‘Abstain’ box on the shareholder voting form.
Resolution 2 –
Re-election and election of directors
In accordance with the Company’s constitution, at every Annual General Meeting, one third of the directors must retire from office and are eligible for re-election. Messrs W Bartlett and G Ricketts will retire by rotation at the Annual General Meeting. Messrs Bartlett and Ricketts, being eligible, have offered themselves for re-election.
In accordance with the Company’s constitution, Ms I Atlas, who was appointed a director of the Company by the Board on 1 January 2011, is to be elected by shareholders as a director of the Company.
Board recommendation
The Board recommends that shareholders vote in favour of the re-election of all directors offering themselves for re-election, and the election of the director appointed by the Board in January 2011.
Resolution 3 –
Appointment of Auditor
The Corporations Act 2001 requires shareholders to approve the appointment of an auditor at a company’s first annual general meeting.
Suncorp Group Limited became the ultimate holding company for the Suncorp Group in January 2011. At that time the Board of Directors had appointed KPMG as the Company’s auditor, subject to shareholder approval. This being the Company’s first annual general meeting, shareholders are requested to approve the appointment of KPMG, who are currently the auditor for all Suncorp Group companies, as auditor of the Company.
A copy of the notice of nomination of KPMG received from Mr John Story, as a shareholder of the Company, is attached.
Board recommendation
The Board recommends that shareholders vote in favour of the appointment of KPMG as auditor of the Company.
