Wiseway Group (ASX: WWG) |Annual General Meeting 24 November 2020 Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Notes

Entitlement to Vote

The Directors have determined pursuant to regulation 7.11 of the Corporations Regulations 2001 (Cth) that the persons eligible to vote at the Meeting are those who are registered Shareholders of the Company as at 7.00 PM (AEST) on Friday, 20 November 2020 ( Entitlement Time ).

Accordingly, transactions registered after that time will be disregarded in determining shareholders entitled to attend and vote at the Meeting.

Voting Options and Proxies

Voting in Person

If you are proposing to attend the Meeting and vote, there is no need for you to take any further action at this time.

Voting by Proxy

A Shareholder who is entitled to attend and vote at this Meeting is entitled to appoint not more than two proxies to attend and vote on that shareholder’s behalf. A proxy need not be a Shareholder of the Company.

A Shareholder who is entitled to cast two or more votes may appoint more than two proxies to attend and vote at the AGM. If you appoint two proxies, you may specify the proportion or number of votes each proxy is appointed to exercise. If no such proportion is specified, each proxy can exercise half of the shareholder’s voting rights.

If the appointment of a proxy directs the proxy to vote on an item of business in a particular way, the proxy may only vote on that item as directed. However, unless the proxy is required by law to vote, the proxy may decide not to vote on that item. All directed proxies that are not voted on a poll at the AGM will automatically default to the Chair, who is required to vote the proxies as directed. Any undirected proxies on a given resolution may be voted on by the appointed proxy as they choose, subject to voting exclusions as described previously. The Chair intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of each resolution.

In the case of shares jointly held by two or more persons, any joint holder may appoint a proxy but if more than one is present at the Meeting (either in person, or by proxy or attorney or representative) the joint holder whose name appears first in the Company’s share register shall alone be entitled to vote in respect of those shares.

There is no requirement for a formal resolution of this Item.

The Chair of the Meeting will allow a reasonable opportunity at the Meeting for Shareholders to ask questions about or comment on the management of the Company. Shareholders will also be given a reasonable opportunity at the Meeting to ask the Company’s auditor, KPMG, questions about the Auditor’s Report, the conduct of its audit of the Company’s Financial Report for the financial year ended 30 June 2020, the preparation and content of the Auditor’s Report, the accounting policies adopted by the Company in its preparation of the financial statements and the independence of KPMG in relation to the conduct of the audit.

ITEM 2: REMUNERATION REPORT

In accordance with section 300A of the Corporations Act the Company has prepared a Remuneration Report for the consideration of Shareholders. The Remuneration Report is included in the Company’s Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2020.

The Remuneration Report outlines Wiseway’s remuneration strategy and objectives and provides details of Board and Key Management Personnel (KMP) remuneration received during the year.

Wiseway’s remuneration strategy is designed to support and drive the achievement of the group’s business strategy. It aims to ensure that remuneration outcomes are linked to the group’s performance and aligned with shareholder outcomes.

The Board regularly reviews the remuneration framework against the evolving business strategy and in the context of the commercial environment to ensure that it remains effective in achieving alignment with shareholder outcome, employee motivation and the balance between short- and long-term performance.

In FY20, the executive remuneration framework comprised a mix of fixed annual remuneration, and short- and long-term performance incentives. The group aims to reward executives with a mix of remuneration that is appropriate to their position and responsibilities, whilst being market competitive.
