Votes may not be cast, and the Company will disregard any votes cast, on the resolution on item 2:

  • by or on behalf of any KMP member whose remuneration details are included in the Remuneration Report, or any of their closely related parties, regardless of the capacity in which the votes are cast; or

  • by any person who is a KMP member as at the time the resolution is voted on at the Annual General Meeting, or any of their closely related parties, as a proxy,

  • unless the votes are cast as a proxy for a person who is entitled to vote on the resolution:

  • in accordance with a direction in the proxy appointment; or

  • by the Chairman of the Annual General Meeting in accordance with an express authorisation in the proxy appointment to cast the votes even if the resolution is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a KMP member.

Votes may not be cast, and the Company will disregard any votes cast, on the resolution on item 3:

  • by any Director who is eligible to participate in the Tabcorp Long Term Performance Plan, or any of their associates, regardless of the capacity in which the votes are cast; or

  • in accordance with a direction in the proxy appointment; or

  • by the Chairman of the Annual General Meeting in accordance with an express authorisation in the proxy appointment to cast the votes even if the resolution is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a KMP member.

For the purposes of these voting exclusions:

  • The KMP (or key management personnel) are those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the Tabcorp consolidated group, either directly or indirectly. It includes all Directors (executive and non executive) and selected members of the Senior Executive Leadership Team reporting to the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer. The key management personnel for the Tabcorp consolidated group during the year ended 30 June 2017 are listed in section 5 of the Remuneration Report for the year ended 30 June 2017.

  • a dependant of the member or of the member’s spouse; or

  • anyone else who is one of the member’s family and may be expected to influence the member, or be influenced by the member, in the member’s dealings with the entity; or

  • a company the member controls.

The Company will also apply these voting exclusions to persons appointed as attorney by a shareholder to attend and vote at the Annual General Meeting under a power of attorney, as if they were appointed as a proxy.

Voting by Proxy

  1. A shareholder entitled to attend and vote at the Annual General Meeting may appoint not more than two proxies.

  2. A proxy may be either an individual or a corporation. Should a shareholder appoint a corporation as its proxy, that corporation will need to ensure that it follows the procedures set out below to appoint an individual as its corporate representative to exercise its powers at the Annual General Meeting.

  3. Where two proxies are appointed, neither may vote on a show of hands, and each proxy should be appointed to exercise a specified proportion or number of the shareholder’s votes. If the appointment does not specify the proportion or number of the shareholder’s votes each proxy may exercise, then each proxy may exercise half of the votes. An additional proxy form will be supplied by the Company’s Share Registry, Link Market Services Limited, on request for the purpose of appointing a second proxy.

  4. In the case of joint shareholders, the proxy form must be signed by either one or all of the joint shareholders.

  5. If the shareholder is a corporation, then the proxy form may be executed under its common seal, or by two directors, or a director and a company secretary, of the corporation. If there is a sole director who is also the sole secretary, then the proxy form may be signed by that person. If there is a sole director and no company secretary, then the sole director may sign alone.

  1. If a proxy form is signed on behalf of an individual or a corporation under power of attorney, the power of attorney under which the proxy form is signed, or a certified copy of that power of attorney, must accompany the proxy form unless the power of attorney has previously been noted by the Company’s Share Registry.

  2. A proxy need not be a shareholder of the Company.

  3. Where a proxy holds two or more appointments that specify different ways to vote on a resolution, the proxy must not vote in that capacity on a show of hands on that resolution.

  5. If a proxy does not attend the Annual General Meeting, then the Chairman of the Annual General Meeting will be taken to have been appointed as the proxy of the relevant shareholder in respect of the Annual General Meeting. In addition, if a proxy attends the Annual General Meeting and the proxy’s appointment specifies the way to vote on a resolution, but the proxy does not vote on that resolution on a poll, then the Chairman of the Annual General Meeting will be taken to have been appointed as the proxy of the relevant shareholder in respect of the poll on that resolution.

  6. If the Chairman of the Annual General Meeting is appointed, or taken to be appointed, as a proxy, but the appointment does not specify the way to vote on a resolution, then the Chairman intends to exercise the relevant shareholder’s votes in favour of the relevant resolution (subject to the other provisions of these Notes on Voting, including the voting exclusions noted above).

The Directors’ Report for the year ended 30 June 2017 contains the Company’s Remuneration Report. A copy of the Remuneration Report is set out on pages 47 to 80 of the Annual Report 2017, which can be found on the Tabcorp website (www.tabcorp.com.au).

Item 3 – Grant of Performance Rights to Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer

Shareholders are being asked to approve the long term equity component of Mr David Attenborough’s remuneration package for the financial year ending 30 June 2018, which relates to the proposed grant of Performance Rights, being rights to acquire fully paid ordinary shares in the Company subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain performance conditions, under the Tabcorp Long Term Performance Plan.

(i) Background

Mr Attenborough commenced employment at Tabcorp in April 2010 as the Chief Executive of the Company’s wagering business, and became Tabcorp’s Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer in June 2011 following the demerger of the Company’s former casinos business.

As the Company’s Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Mr Attenborough receives fixed remuneration and can earn variable remuneration through short and long term incentive arrangements. Mr Attenborough’s remuneration package for the year commencing 1 July 2017 remains unchanged from the prior financial year. The fixed component of his remuneration (inclusive of superannuation) in respect of the year commencing 1 July 2017 is $1,250,000 per annum. He also participates in a short term performance scheme pursuant to which he will be eligible to receive a variable short term incentive award based on his individual performance and the Company’s performance over the annual performance review period. For the year commencing 1 July 2017, Mr Attenborough’s short term performance award is equivalent to $1,250,000 if targets are met, and is deliverable as a combination of cash (50%) and Tabcorp shares (50%) which are subject to a two year service condition and subject to forfeiture and claw back conditions. Further information on the short term incentive component of remuneration is detailed in the Remuneration Report within the Annual Report 2017.

6 Tabcorp Notice of Annual General Meeting 2017

The Company intends that the long term incentive component of Mr Attenborough’s remuneration package will involve annual grants of Performance Rights, which would be subject to performance conditions, with the grant of such Performance Rights being subject to obtaining any necessary shareholder approvals at the relevant time.

In respect of the long term incentive component of Mr Attenborough’s remuneration for the year commencing 1 July 2017, the Company will, subject to obtaining the necessary shareholder approval, allocate to him that number of Performance Rights determined based on the formula: $2,500,000 divided by the volume weighted average price of Tabcorp shares traded on the ASX over the five trading days up to but not including 27 October 2017 (the date of the 2017 Annual General Meeting), rounded down to the nearest whole number (‘New Performance Rights’). The number of New Performance Rights proposed to be allocated to Mr Attenborough based on this formula will be confirmed at the 2017 Annual General Meeting.

Underlying shares

For each New Performance Right that vests, Mr Attenborough will be entitled to receive one fully paid ordinary share in the Company.

If the Company undertakes a variation of the issued capital of the Company (such as a capitalisation or rights issue, bonus issue, sub-division, consolidation or reduction of share capital) or certain other corporate actions (such as a demerger or the payment of a special dividend), the Board may vary the performance conditions, adjust the number of Performance Rights or the number of shares the subject of the Performance Rights or issue further Performance Rights (or any combination of these things), in each case subject to the ASX Listing Rules.

Any ordinary shares delivered will have full voting and dividend rights corresponding to the rights of all other ordinary shares in the Company.

Vesting conditions

This formula uses a face value methodology, which is based on the volume weighted average market price of Tabcorp shares. This is the same formula used last year to determine the number of Performance Rights allocated to Mr Attenborough. The formula uses an effective outperformance value of the New Performance Rights at the time of allocation of $2,500,000, which is equivalent to the value if 100% of the New Performance Rights vest at stretch performance levels. The actual value that Mr Attenborough may derive from this allocation of New Performance Rights remains subject to the satisfaction of certain performance conditions, vesting criteria and the Tabcorp share price at the time of vesting.

The performance conditions, performance period, Test Date and other vesting conditions applying to the New Performance Rights will be the same as those that apply to other senior executives participating in the Tabcorp Long Term Performance Plan in respect of the year commencing 1 July 2017, as at 27 October 2017. The key terms relating to the New Performance Rights are as described below. For further information on the Long Term Performance Plan, refer to the Remuneration Report in the Annual Report 2017 on pages 47 to 80.

  • (ii) Date the securities will be provided

If approved by shareholders, the New Performance Rights will be provided to Mr Attenborough as soon as practicable, and in any event no later than 12 months, after the 2017 Annual General Meeting.

(iii) Maximum number of securities to be provided

The maximum number of New Performance Rights that may be acquired by Mr Attenborough under the Tabcorp Long Term Performance Plan pursuant to the resolution on item 3 is that number arrived at based on the formula in that resolution.

  • (iv) The price of the securities, vesting conditions and other matters

No exercise price

No amount is payable on the grant of the New Performance Rights.

There will be one test date and no retesting for the New Performance Rights, which may vest on 15 September 2020 (the ‘Test Date’) subject to the satisfaction of applicable performance conditions (described below). Any New Performance Rights that do not vest on the Test Date will lapse, though the Board does have discretion under the Long Term Performance Plan to lift some or all vesting conditions in special circumstances, such as, but not limited to, death and permanent disablement.

The performance condition which will apply in respect of the grant of the New Performance Rights to Mr Attenborough is relative total shareholder return (the ‘Total Shareholder Return Condition’). Whether the performance condition has been met for the New Performance Rights will be determined on the Test Date. In the event of a takeover offer for the Company or any other transaction resulting in a change of control of the Company, the Board is required to determine, in its absolute discretion, the appropriate treatment regarding any unvested Performance Rights.

The Total Shareholder Return Condition measures the Company’s total shareholder return (‘TSR’) ranking against a peer group of companies over the period from 15 September 2017 to the Test Date. The peer group comprises companies in the S&P/ASX 100 index and excluding property trusts, infrastructure groups and mining companies (represented by the S&P Global Industry Classification Standards (‘GICS’) of Metals & Mining, Oil and Gas, Transportation, Infrastructure, Utilities and Real Estate Investment Trusts). The Board has discretion to adjust the peer group where constituent organisations have had a fundamental change to their capital structure (e.g. mergers) or if they have delisted.

Broadly, TSR measures the return received by shareholders from holding shares in a company over a particular period. TSR is calculated by taking into account the change in a company’s share price over the relevant measurement period as well as the dividends received (and assumed to be reinvested back into the company’s shares) during that period. For the purpose of measuring the change in the Company’s share price (and the share price of the peer group of companies) over the relevant measurement period, the Company will use the volume weighted average price

7 Tabcorp Notice of Annual General Meeting 2017

of the relevant entity’s ordinary shares traded on the ASX on each of the 20 trading days up to and including 15 September 2017 (in the case of the start of the period) and the Test Date (in the case of the end of the period).

The Company’s TSR ranking as against the peer group of companies has been chosen as the performance measure for the New Performance Rights because it directly aligns with the interests of shareholders and reflects performance as measured against the Company’s key strategic objective, which is to maximise TSR as compared with TSR for peer companies.

The table below sets out the percentage of the New Performance Rights that will vest depending on the Company’s TSR ranking as at the Test Date. The maximum number of New Performance Rights that may vest will accord with the highest measure of the Company’s relative TSR ranking on the Test Date.

Percentage of the
Performance Rights
TSR ranking that will vest
Below 50thpercentile 0%
At 50thpercentile 50%
Above the 50th percentile An additional 2% of
and below the 75th Performance Rights will vest
percentile for each 1 percentile increase
above the 50thpercentile
At or above 75thpercentile 100%

New Performance Rights that have not vested on the Test Date will ordinarily lapse.

Treatment on cessation of employment

Upon termination of employment, all unvested New Performance Rights will lapse immediately, subject to certain exceptions. Those exceptions are where (in broad terms) Mr Attenborough: (i) retires (as defined in the Plan Rules) (where he will retain a pro rata number of New Performance Rights based on the time served between 15 September 2017 and the Test Date); (ii) is retrenched (where he will retain a pro rata number of New Performance Rights based on the time served between 15 September 2017 and the Test Date, subject to certain exceptions); or (iii) dies or is permanently disabled (where he will retain a pro rata number of New Performance Rights based on the time served between 15 September 2017 and the Test Date, subject to certain exceptions).

  • (v) Directors who have received securities under the Long Term Performance Plan since the last shareholder approval

501,002 Performance Rights were issued to Mr David Attenborough on 25 October 2016, following shareholder approval granted at the Company’s last Annual General Meeting held on that day.

  • (vi) Directors who are eligible to participate in the Long Term Performance Plan

Mr Attenborough is presently the only Director entitled to participate in the Long Term Performance Plan.

Item 5 – Granting of a guarantee by Intecq Limited and provision of other financial assistance in relation to the Company’s acquisition of Intecq Limited

This resolution is necessary for Intecq Limited and its subsidiaries (each a subsidiary of Tabcorp) to become guarantors under Tabcorp’s financing arrangements and provide other financial assistance as described in (ii) below.

The resolution relates to Tabcorp Gaming Holdings Pty Ltd’s acquisition, in December 2016, of all of the issued capital of Intecq Limited.

There are a number of advantages of the proposed resolution, which are set out in (iv) below, including in relation to the terms of financing available to the Tabcorp Group.

(i) Background

On 16 December 2016, the scheme of arrangement in relation to the acquisition by Tabcorp Gaming Holdings Pty Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Tabcorp Holdings Limited, of all of the issued capital in Intecq Limited was implemented.

The maximum total consideration paid under the scheme (‘Scheme Consideration’) was paid by Tabcorp Gaming Holdings Pty Ltd, drawing on funding under an existing revolving credit facility (‘Tabcorp Facility’). The Tabcorp Facility is provided by a syndicate of lenders comprising a number of financial institutions. The borrower under the Tabcorp Facility is Tabcorp Investments No. 4 Pty Ltd (‘Borrower’), a wholly owned subsidiary of Tabcorp. The amount drawn under the Tabcorp Facility was made available to Tabcorp Gaming Holdings Pty Ltd by the Borrower pursuant to inter-company loan arrangements.

Under the terms of the Tabcorp Facility, and the proposed terms of the Tabcorp Syndicated Facility, Tabcorp is required to ensure that a certain minimum percentage of the Tabcorp Group’s EBITDA and assets be attributable to group companies which are guarantors under these facilities. In order to comply with these requirements, it may be necessary for some or all of Intecq Limited and its subsidiaries (each a subsidiary of Tabcorp) to become guarantors.

9 Tabcorp Notice of Annual General Meeting 2017

(ii) Particulars of the financial assistance

  • The financial assistance proposed to be given by some or all of Intecq Limited and its subsidiaries is as follows:

  • the granting of a guarantee and indemnity in respect of the Tabcorp Facility and any related interest rate and currency swaps;

  • the granting of a guarantee and indemnity in respect of any re-financing of the Tabcorp Facility and any interest rate and currency swaps relating to that re-financing;

  • repayment of the Tabcorp Facility and any debt incurred under a re-financing of those facilities using proceeds of sale of assets of Intecq Limited and its subsidiaries or any new debt or equity issues made by Intecq Limited or its subsidiaries;

  • the granting of a guarantee and indemnity in respect of Tabcorp’s US private placement notes, and any other debt facilities that the Tabcorp Group has in place; and

  • any other financial assistance which Intecq Limited or any of its subsidiaries agree to give.

The implementation of the above transactions may constitute financial assistance by Intecq or its subsidiaries in relation to Tabcorp Gaming Holdings Pty Ltd’s acquisition of the ordinary shares in the capital of Intecq Limited.

(iii) Shareholder approval of the financial assistance

The approval of the shareholders of Tabcorp in respect of the financial assistance is sought under section 260B(2) of the Corporations Act because Tabcorp is the holding company of Tabcorp Gaming Holdings Pty Ltd.

(iv) Advantages of the proposed resolution

The advantages of the proposed resolution include the following:

  • (a) If Intecq Limited and its subsidiaries provide the guarantees and indemnities (as well as the other financial assistance mentioned in (ii) above) to Tabcorp, the commercial terms under the Tabcorp Syndicated Facility are likely to be more commercially advantageous to Tabcorp than would be the case if the financial assistance was unable to be provided.

  • (b) The Directors of Tabcorp believe that the Tabcorp Facility was, at the time, the most efficient form of financing available for Tabcorp to finance the acquisition of the Intecq Limited shares.

  • (c) If the resolution is not approved, neither Intecq Limited nor any of its subsidiaries may be able to act as guarantor of the Tabcorp Facility. This may prejudice Tabcorp’s ability to achieve the most commercially acceptable terms and conditions (including pricing) in future financings of the Tabcorp Group.

  • (d) Tabcorp has undertaken to its lenders to use all reasonable endeavours to procure that the shareholders approve Intecq Limited and its subsidiaries becoming a guarantor of the Tabcorp Facility in accordance with section 260B(2) of the Corporations Act. The approval of the special resolution will satisfy this obligation.

(v) Disadvantages of the proposed resolution

  • (a) The Directors of Tabcorp do not believe there is any disadvantage to Tabcorp in approving the proposed resolution.

  • (b) To the contrary, the Directors of Tabcorp believe that there is likely to be a commercial disadvantage to Tabcorp, in the form of potentially increased financing costs, if the proposed resolution is not approved.

The Board recommends that shareholders vote in favour of the resolution on item 5.

Item 6 – Granting of a guarantee by Tatts Group Limited and provision of other financial assistance in relation to Tabcorp’s proposed acquisition of Tatts Group Limited

This resolution is necessary for Tatts Group Limited (‘Tatts’) and its subsidiaries (each a ‘Tatts Group Member’) to become guarantors under Tabcorp’s financing arrangements and provide other financial assistance as described in (ii)(e) below.

This would only occur if Tabcorp successfully acquires all the ordinary shares in Tatts pursuant to a scheme of arrangement (‘Tatts Scheme of Arrangement’).

The proposed Tatts Scheme of Arrangement is not conditional on Tabcorp shareholders approving this resolution.

There are a number of advantages of the proposed resolution, which are set out in (iv) below, including in relation to the terms of financing available to the Tabcorp Group.

(i) Background

  • On 19 October 2016, Tatts and Tabcorp announced that they had reached an agreement to combine the two companies via the Tatts Scheme of Arrangement, in which Tatts shareholders will receive 0.80 Tabcorp shares, plus 42.5 cents for each Tatts share held. Updates in relation to the Tatts Scheme of Arrangement have been lodged by both Tabcorp and Tatts with the ASX since 19 October 2016.

The Tatts Scheme of Arrangement is yet to be implemented.

After implementation of the Tatts Scheme of Arrangement, Tatts and its subsidiaries will, subject to shareholder approval for the resolution on item 6, provide financial assistance to Tabcorp in connection with the acquisition by Tabcorp of all the issued capital in Tatts, as set out below.

(ii) Particulars of the proposed financial assistance

(a) External debt finance arrangements

Tabcorp has executed a legally binding commitment letter with each of Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited, Commonwealth Bank of Australia, National Australia Bank Limited, Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation, Sydney Branch, Westpac Banking Corporation and BNP Paribas, Sydney Branch (the ‘Financiers’) pursuant to which the Financiers and Tabcorp, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Tabcorp Investments No. 4 Pty Ltd (‘Borrower’), have agreed to enter into formal loan documentation to provide a debt facility to Tabcorp for a maximum aggregate amount of

10 Tabcorp Notice of Annual General Meeting 2017

$4.35 billion (subject to various conditions being satisfied) (‘Tabcorp Syndicated Facility’). The Tabcorp Syndicated Facility will be used to pay the cash consideration payable by Tabcorp under the Tatts Scheme of Arrangement.

Tabcorp anticipates that the formal loan documentation under which the Tabcorp Syndicated Facility will be provided will be in place prior to the date upon which the court will consider approving the Tatts Scheme of Arrangement.

(b) Conditions precedent to initial draw down

The Tabcorp Syndicated Facility contains market standard conditions precedent to initial drawdown for a facility of this nature. In addition, there are a limited number of specific conditions relating to the Tatts Scheme of Arrangement.

(c) Guarantee

A guarantee will be given to the Financiers under the Tabcorp Syndicated Facility Agreement by each of Tabcorp and other members of the Tabcorp Group. Tabcorp is required to ensure that a certain minimum percentage of the Tabcorp Group’s EBITDA and assets be attributable to group companies which are guarantors under the Tabcorp Syndicated Facility Agreement. In order to comply with these requirements, it will be necessary for Tatts Group and certain Tatts Group Members to become guarantors following implementation of the Tatts Scheme of Arrangement.

(d) Intra-group arrangements

As noted in paragraph (a) above, Tabcorp will undertake to pay the cash consideration under the Tatts Scheme of Arrangement to the relevant Tatts shareholders.

The funds borrowed by Tabcorp Investments No.4 Pty Ltd under the Tabcorp Syndicated Facility to pay the cash consideration will be provided to Tabcorp by way of an intercompany loan or as otherwise determined by Tabcorp. This intercompany borrowing would not be repayable prior to the time at which the cash consideration is provided to the relevant Tatts shareholders.

(e) Potential financial assistance

  • Accordingly, subject to implementation of the Tatts Scheme of Arrangement, the financial assistance which is proposed to be given by a Tatts Group Member is as follows:

  • the granting of a guarantee and indemnity in respect of the Tabcorp Syndicated Facility and any related interest rate and currency swaps;

  • the granting of a guarantee and indemnity in respect of any re-financing of the Tabcorp Syndicated Facility, and any interest rate and currency swaps relating to that re-financing;

  • repayment of the Tabcorp Syndicated Facility and any debt incurred under a re-financing of those facilities using proceeds of sale of assets of a Tatts Group Member or any new debt or equity issues made by a Tatts Group Member;

  • the granting of a guarantee and indemnity in respect of Tabcorp’s US private placement notes, and any other debt facilities that the Tabcorp Group has in place; and

  • any other financial assistance which a Tatts Group Member agrees to give.

The implementation of the above transactions may constitute financial assistance by a Tatts Group Member in relation to Tabcorp’s acquisition of the ordinary shares in the capital of Tatts.

(iii) Shareholder approval of the financial assistance

The approval of the shareholders of Tabcorp in respect of the financial assistance is sought under section 260B(2) of the Corporations Act.

(iv) Advantages of the proposed resolution

  • The advantages of the proposed resolution include the following:

  • (a) If the Tatts Group Members provide the guarantees and indemnities (as well as the other financial assistance mentioned in (ii)(e) above) to Tabcorp, the commercial terms under the Tabcorp Syndicated Facility are likely to be more commercially advantageous to Tabcorp than would be the case if the financial assistance was unable to be provided.

  • (b) The Directors of Tabcorp believe that the Tabcorp Syndicated Facility is the most efficient form of financing available for Tabcorp to finance the acquisition of the Tatts shares.

  • (c) If the resolution is not approved, neither Tatts nor any of its subsidiaries may be able to act as guarantor of the Tabcorp Syndicated Facility. This may prejudice Tabcorp’s ability to achieve the most commercially acceptable terms and conditions (including pricing) in future financings of the Tabcorp Group.

  • (d) Tabcorp has undertaken to its lenders to use all reasonable endeavours to procure that the shareholders approve the Tatts Group Members becoming guarantors of the Tabcorp Syndicated Facility in accordance with section 260B(2) of the Corporations Act. The approval of the special resolution will satisfy this obligation.

(v) Disadvantages of the proposed resolution

  • (a) The Directors of Tabcorp do not believe there is any disadvantage to Tabcorp in approving the proposed resolution.

  • (b) To the contrary, the Directors of Tabcorp believe that there is likely to be a commercial disadvantage to Tabcorp, in the form of potentially increased financing costs, if the proposed resolution is not approved.

The Board recommends that shareholders vote in favour of the resolution on item 6.
