EXPLANATORY NOTES
These Explanatory Notes form part of the Notice of Meeting and provide shareholders with an explanation of the Business of the Meeting and proposed resolutions. The Board recommends that shareholders read these Explanatory Notes before deciding how to vote on a resolution.
When reading these Explanatory Notes, please refer to the Glossary of key terms that appears at the end of this document. Each defined term starts with a capital letter.
The Chair intends to vote all available undirected proxy appointments in favour of resolutions 2, 3.1, 3.2, and 4.
ITEM 1 REPORTS AND ACCOUNTS
As required by section 317 of the Corporations Act, the Financial Report, Directors’ Report and Auditor’s Report of the Company for the year ended 26 June 2021 will be laid before the Meeting.
A reasonable opportunity will be provided at the Meeting for shareholders as a whole to ask questions about the reports, and on the performance and management of the Company generally. Representatives of the Company’s external auditor, PricewaterhouseCoopers, will be available to answer questions relevant to the preparation and content of the Auditor’s Report.
- The reports are available on the Company’s website at: https://www.superretailgroup.com.au/investors and-media/corporate-governance/.
There is no requirement for a formal resolution on this Item.
ITEM 2
ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT
The Board recommends that shareholders vote in favour of this resolution.
Section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act requires the Company to put a resolution to the AGM for adoption of the Remuneration Report. The vote on the resolution will be advisory only and will not bind the Directors or the Company. However, the Board values shareholder feedback and will take into consideration the outcome of voting on this resolution when assessing remuneration policy for executives and Non-Executive Directors in the future.
The Company is committed to creating a high-performance culture. Remuneration and benefits are set in the context of an overall policy to provide market-competitive remuneration and arrangements that support the attraction, development, engagement and retention of team members. These aims are aligned with the interests of shareholders.
Similarly, the Company’s remuneration strategy is designed to attract and retain experienced, qualified NonExecutive Directors and to remunerate appropriately to reflect the responsibilities of the position. NonExecutive Directors receive fees to recognise their contribution to the work of the Board and the Committees on which they serve.
The Remuneration Report is set out in pages 43 to 67 of the Company’s 2021 Annual Report. It is also available on the Company’s website at: https://www.superretailgroup.com.au/investors-andmedia/corporate-governance/.
A voting exclusion applies to this item.

ITEM 3 RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
ITEM 3.1
RE-ELECTION OF DR SALLY PITKIN AO AS A DIRECTOR
The Board (without Dr Pitkin voting) recommends that shareholders vote in favour of this resolution.
Dr Pitkin was appointed as a Director of the Company on 1 July 2010 and as the Chair of the Board on 23 October 2017. She is the Chair of the Nomination Committee and an ex-officio member of the Human Resources and Remuneration Committee.
Dr Pitkin was last re-elected as a Director of the Company at the 2018 AGM on 24 October 2018. Article 9.3 of the Company’s Constitution and ASX Listing Rule 14.4 require that a Director must not hold office without re-election past the third annual general meeting following the Director’s appointment or last election, or for more than three years, whichever is the longer. As Dr Pitkin is eligible, she offers herself for re-election.
Dr Pitkin has more than 25 years’ experience as a non-executive director in the listed, private, public and non-profit sectors, including experience in international markets, and more than 17 years’ experience as a non-executive director of ASX200 companies. She is a former lawyer and former partner of a national law firm with banking law, corporate law and corporate governance expertise. She is a non-executive director of ASX listed companies The Star Entertainment Group Limited and Link Administration Holdings Limited, Fellow of the Australian Institute of Company Directors, and Chair of the Institute’s Corporate Governance Committee. Dr Pitkin holds a Doctor of Philosophy (Governance), a Master of Laws and Bachelor of Laws. Dr Pitkin was recognised for her contributions to corporate governance standards in the 2021 Australia Day Honours List, being made an Officer of the Order of Australia.
In accordance with Recommendation 2.3 of the ASX Corporate Governance Council’s Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations, the Board considered and confirms the ongoing independence of Dr Pitkin. In considering the independence of Dr Pitkin, the Board noted in particular the significant change in the composition of the Executive Leadership Team, including the appointment of a new CEO in 2019. The Board confirmed that notwithstanding Dr Pitkin’s tenure, she still remains an independent Non-Executive Director of the Board.
The Board believes that Dr Pitkin is an effective Chair, and that her capability and experience in strategy, finance, governance, human resources and organisational culture, risk management, technology and regulatory and stakeholder engagement, together with her substantial experience with the Company and other major companies enhances the Board’s ability to oversee the Company’s performance and governance and is a significant asset to the Board. Accordingly, the Board (with Dr Pitkin abstaining) recommends the re-election of Dr Pitkin.
6
ITEM 3.2 RE-ELECTION OF MR PETER EVERINGHAM AS A DIRECTOR
The Board (without Mr Everingham voting) recommends that shareholders vote in favour of this resolution.
Mr Everingham was appointed as a Director of the Company on 19 December 2017 and is a member of the Audit and Risk Committee, Human Resources and Remuneration Committee and Nomination Committee.
Mr Everingham was last elected as a Director of the Company at the 2018 AGM on 24 October 2018. Article 9.3 of the Company’s Constitution and ASX Listing Rule 14.4 require that a Director must not hold office without re-election past the third annual general meeting following the Director’s appointment or last election, or for more than three years, whichever is the longer. As Mr Everingham is eligible, he offers himself for re-election.
Mr Everingham is an experienced executive with more than 25 years’ corporate experience, including 18 years in senior executive roles in the digital sector. He was formerly Managing Director of SEEK Limited’s International Division, and served as a Non-Executive Director of the education businesses, IDP Education, Online Education Services and THINK Education, as well as Chairman of Seek’s China subsidiary, Zhaopin Limited. His previous executive roles include Director of Strategy for Yahoo! in Australia and Southeast Asia. He is a non-executive director of iCar Asia Limited and WWF-Australia, Australia’s largest conservation organisation.
Mr Everingham holds a Master of Business Administration from IESE, a Bachelor of Economics from The University of Sydney, and is a graduate member of the Australian Institute of Company Directors.
The Board considers Mr Everingham to be an independent director.
The Board believes that Mr Everingham’s capability and experience, particularly in strategy and digital technologies is a significant asset to the Board, particularly in the execution of the Company’s omni retail channel and digital strategy. Accordingly, the Board (with Mr Everingham abstaining) recommends Mr Everingham for re-election.

ITEM 4 PROPORTIONAL TAKEOVER PROVISIONS
The Board recommends that shareholders vote in favour of this resolution.
It is proposed to insert a new rule 22.9 and Schedule 2 into the Company’s Constitution relating to proportional takeover bids, as set out at Annexure 1 of this Notice of Meeting.
A proportional takeover bid occurs when a bidder offers to acquire only a proportion of each shareholder’s shares (e.g. five out of every eight shares held). Under the Corporations Act, companies may include proportional takeover rules in their constitutions that enable shareholders to vote on a proportional bid ‘in-principle’ before a proportional bid is permitted to proceed. These rules expire if they are not refreshed by a special resolution of shareholders every three years. A significant number of ASX-listed companies have proportional takeover provisions in their constitutions and routinely have the provisions refreshed by shareholders.
The Corporations Act requires the Company to provide shareholders with an explanation of the proposed proportional takeover approval provisions (as set out below) so that shareholders may make an informed decision on whether to support or oppose the resolution.
WHY ARE PROPORTIONAL TAKEOVER APPROVAL PROVISIONS NEEDED?
The Board considers that shareholders should have the opportunity to vote on any proportional takeover bid for the Company
Without these provisions, a bid may enable control of the Company to pass without shareholders having the chance to sell all their shares to the bidder. Shareholders therefore may be exposed to the risk of being left as a minority in the Company, and of the bidder taking control of the Company without paying an adequate premium for control.
The Board also considers that the provisions may avoid shareholders feeling pressured to accept a bid in circumstances where they do not want it to succeed.
WHAT IS THE EFFECT OF PROPORTIONAL TAKEOVER APPROVAL PROVISIONS?
If a proportional takeover bid is made, the directors must ensure that shareholders vote on a resolution to approve the bid more than 14 days before the bid period closes.
The vote is decided on a simple majority.
Each person who, as at the end of the day on which the first offer under the bid was made, held bid class securities is entitled to vote, but the bidder and its associates are not allowed to vote.
If the resolution is not passed, transfers which would have resulted from the acceptance of a bid will not be registered and the bid will be taken to have been withdrawn.
If the bid is approved (or taken to have been approved), the transfers must be registered if they comply with the Corporations Act and the Company’s Constitution.
If the resolution is not voted on, the bid will be taken to have been approved.
The proportional takeover approval provisions do not apply to full takeover bids and only apply for 3 years after the date of adoption. The provisions may be renewed, but only by a special resolution.
8
NO PERSON TO ACQUIRE OR INCREASE ITS SUBSTANTIAL INTEREST
At the date this statement was prepared, no director is aware of a proposal by a person to acquire, or to increase, a substantial interest in the Company.
POTENTIAL ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES
The Board considers that the proportional takeover approval provisions have no potential advantages or disadvantages for them personally and that they remain free to make a recommendation on whether an offer under a proportional takeover bid should be accepted.
The potential advantages of the proportional takeover approval provisions for shareholders of the company are:
-
shareholders will have the right to decide by majority vote whether an offer under a proportional takeover bid should proceed;
-
the provisions may help shareholders avoid being locked in as a minority;
-
there will be an increase in the bargaining power of shareholders which may ensure that any partial offer is adequately priced; and
-
knowing the view of the majority of shareholders may help each individual shareholder assess the likely outcome of the proportional takeover bid and to decide whether to accept or reject that offer.
The potential disadvantages for shareholders of the company include:
-
proportional takeover bids for shares in the company may be discouraged;
-
shareholders may lose an opportunity to sell some of their shares at a premium; and
-
the chance of a proportional takeover bid being successful may be reduced.
The Board considers that the potential advantages for shareholders of the proportional takeover approval provisions outweigh the potential disadvantages. In particular, shareholders as a whole are able to decide whether or not a proportional takeover bid is successful.

HOW TO COMPLETE THIS SHAREHOLDER VOTING FORM
YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS
This is your name and address as it appears on the Company’s share register. If this information is incorrect, please make the correction on the form. Shareholders sponsored by a broker should advise their broker of any changes. Please note: you cannot change ownership of your shares using this form.
VOTING UNDER BOX A
If you marked the box under Box A you are indicating that you wish to vote directly. Please mark “For” , “Against” or “Abstain” for each item. Note, if you mark the “Abstain” box for an item, your vote for that item will not be counted.
If no direction is given, or you do not Mark Box A or Box B, your vote will be passed to the Chair of the Meeting as your proxy.
If you Mark Box A and Box B, you will be taken not to have appointed a proxy and your direct votes will be counted.
Custodians and nominees may, with the Share Registrar’s consent, identify on the Voting Form the total number of votes in each of the categories “For” and “Against” and their votes will be valid.
LODGEMENT OF A PROXY FORM
This Proxy Form (and any Power of Attorney under which it is signed) must be received at an address given below by 11:30am (AEST) on Monday, 18 October 2021, being not later than 48 hours before the commencement of the Meeting. Any Proxy Form received after that time will not be valid for the scheduled Meeting.

Login to the Link website using the holding details as shown on the Proxy Form. Select ‘Voting’ and follow the prompts to lodge your vote. To use the online lodgement facility, shareholders will need their “Holder Identifier” - Securityholder Reference Number (SRN) or Holder Identification Number (HIN).
The Chair’s decision as to whether a direct vote is valid is conclusive.
VOTING UNDER BOX B – APPOINTMENT OF PROXY
If you wish to appoint the Chair of the Meeting as your proxy, mark Box B. If you wish to appoint someone other than the Chair of the Meeting as your proxy, please write the name and email of that individual or body corporate in Step 1. If your named proxy does not attend the Meeting, the Chair of the Meeting will be your proxy. If your named proxy attends the Meeting but does not vote on a poll on a resolution in accordance with your directions, the Chair of the Meeting will become your proxy in respect of that resolution. A proxy need not be a shareholder of the Company.
PROXY VOTING BY THE CHAIR OF THE MEETING
On a poll, the Chair of the Meeting will vote directed proxies as directed and will vote undirected proxies in favour of each item of business. If the Chair of the Meeting is your proxy or becomes your proxy by default, and you do not provide voting directions, then by submitting the Voting Form you are expressly authorising the Chair of the Meeting to exercise your proxy on all Resolutions, including where the Resolutions are connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of KMP.
VOTES ON ITEMS OF BUSINESS – PROXY APPOINTMENT
You may direct your proxy how to vote by placing a mark in one of the boxes opposite each item of business. All your shares will be voted in accordance with such a direction unless you indicate only a portion of voting rights are to be voted on any item by inserting the percentage or number of shares you wish to vote in the appropriate box or boxes. If you do not mark any of the boxes on the items of business, your proxy may vote as he or she chooses. If you mark more than one box on an item your vote on that item will be invalid.
APPOINTMENT OF A SECOND PROXY
You may appoint up to two proxies. If you appoint two proxies, you should complete two separate Voting Forms and specify the percentage or number each proxy may exercise. If you do not specify a percentage or number, each proxy may exercise half the votes. You must return both Voting Forms together. If you require an additional Voting Form, contact Link Market Services on 1800 170 502 or you may copy this form.
