annual meeting each year (with the retiring directors being

elected or deemed elected).

A single Executive Director (the Chief Executive Officer) is

exempt from these rotation requirements.

In addition, Article 4.3 of Kathmandu Holdings Limited’s

constitution, NZX Listing Rule 3.3.6 and ASX Listing Rule 14.4

5KATHMANDU NOTICE OF ANNUAL MEETING 2017

Item 4: Grant of performance
rights to Xavier Simonet under

the Kathmandu Holdings Limited

Long Term Incentive Plan

Grant of Performance Rights

Item 4 seeks shareholder approval to issue performance rights

to Xavier Simonet, Executive Director, under the shareholder

approved Kathmandu Holdings Limited Long Term Incentive

Plan (“the Plan”). Under the Plan the Board may grant

performance rights to any employee of the Company

(including Directors who are employees) or any related

body corporate of the Company whom the Board decides

in its discretion is eligible to be invited to receive a grant of

performance rights.

ASX Listing Rule 10.14 requires the Company to obtain

shareholder approval to grant equity securities in the

Company to a Director. The performance rights will be

granted to Xavier Simonet under the NZX Main Board Listing

Rule 7.3.6. Accordingly, no shareholder approval is required

for the grant of the equity securities to Xavier Simonet for

the purposes of the NZX Main Board Listing Rules. Subject

to that shareholder approval, Xavier Simonet will be granted

performance rights which, subject to the achievement of

certain performance conditions described below, may vest

and convert to ordinary shares on a one-for-one basis.

The Board has decided to grant performance rights to Xavier

Simonet, for the following reasons:

• the grant of performance rights is in accordance with

acceptable market practice;

• the grant of performance rights has a minimal dilutionary

effect on the issued share capital of the Company;

• the grant of performance rights, as the primary

component of their incentive based remuneration, will

reward this Executive for his performance; and

• performance rights which have been granted under

transparent and robust performance conditions,

containing stretch elements, will when they vest create

recognisable value to the Executive, which ensures

alignment with value creation to Shareholders.

Vesting of the performance rights will only occur when the

Performance Conditions specified below are satisfied within

the Performance Period specified below. If the performance

rights do not vest, they will lapse. Financial Performance

Conditions are determined inclusive of the cost of the

performance rights granted.

On vesting of the performance rights, the Executive is entitled

to one fully paid ordinary share in the Company for each

performance right vested. The Company may acquire fully

paid ordinary shares on market and transfer, or issue new

shares to the Executive to satisfy this entitlement. Any shares

issued or transferred as a result of the vesting of performance

rights issued under the Plan will rank equally with existing fully

paid ordinary shares in the Company in all respects, including

voting rights and entitlements to participate in dividends and

in future rights and bonus issues.

A full copy of the Plan rules may be obtained (at no cost) upon

request by emailing companysecretary@kathmandu.co.nz.

Details about the grant of Performance Rights

Subject to shareholder approval, the Board wishes to grant to

Xavier Simonet performance rights to the value of A$568,050

representing 70% of Mr. Simonet’s Fixed Annual Remuneration

of A$811,500.

The actual number of performance rights to be granted to

Xavier Simonet for nil cash consideration under the Plan will

be determined by dividing the performance rights value of

A$568,050 by the average volume weighted price for the

Company’s ordinary shares as traded on the ASX on the 5

business days prior to the offer being made to Xavier Simonet.

The performance rights will be granted to Xavier Simonet

no later than 12 months after the meeting, and as soon

as practicable after the meeting. The performance

rights will only vest if the Performance Conditions are

satisfied during the applicable Performance Period, as

specified below. Financial Performance Conditions are

determined inclusive of the cost of the performance rights

granted. Where the Performance Conditions are met, the

performance rights will, on the Vesting Date, convert to

ordinary shares in the capital of the Company on a one-

for-one basis. Any shares allotted to Mr. Simonet may

be acquired on market or issued by the Company.

No consideration will be payable by Xavier Simonet in respect

of the grant of the performance rights or the transfer or issue

of shares upon vesting of the performance rights.

Vesting Date

The Vesting Date for the performance rights proposed to be

granted to Mr Simonet will be as follows:

DIRECTORVESTING DATE

Mr Xavier Simonet1 December 2020

Note that at an exchange rate of NZ$1.00 to A$0.90 the grants proposed

equate to NZ$631,167 in respect of Xavier Simonet (Item 4).

6KATHMANDU NOTICE OF ANNUAL MEETING 2017

Performance Conditions
The Performance Conditions for the vesting of the

performance rights proposed to be granted to Mr Simonet

are comprised of a dual test of relative Total Shareholder

Return (“TSR”) and Earnings per Share (“EPS Growth”)

(“Performance Conditions”).

The Board considered it appropriate to have a dual test since:

• a TSR component provides a challenging test (where

reward is only delivered for ‘out-performing’ a target that

is based on the Company’s relative performance) against

other listed entities and also provides transparency for

external stakeholders; and

• an EPS component which rewards achievement against a

target is within management’s influence, thereby focusing

executives on one of the Company’s key business drivers.

The Board believes that the dual tests, if achieved, will

demonstrably aid the creation of shareholder value. Each

Performance Condition is weighted evenly.

TSR Performance Hurdle

Vesting of 50% of the performance rights will depend

upon the Company’s relative TSR performance determined

by the Board on the basis of the Company’s relative TSR

ranking calculated over the 36 months to 1 December 2020

compared with the TSR performance of the entities in a

comparator group calculated over the same period (“the

Performance Period”).

Comparator Group

The Company’s TSR will be compared to the TSRs over the

same period of listed entities that are amongst the ASX 101-

200 as at 1 December 2017. The Board has a general discretion

to exclude entities from the comparator group for the

comparison of the Company’s TSR in the Performance Period

(for example, in circumstances where an entity subject to a

takeover event during the year).

Vesting Measures

The following table sets out the percentage of performance

rights subject to the TSR condition that may vest based on

the Company’s relative TSR ranking:

PERFORMANCE PERIOD

TSR CONDITION THAT WILL VEST

improvement above the 50th percentile will result in 50%

plus an additional 2% vesting

75th percentile or above100%

7KATHMANDU NOTICE OF ANNUAL MEETING 2017

EPS Growth Condition
Vesting of 50% of the performance rights will be

dependent upon the Company’s EPS Growth Rate over the

Performance Period.

The EPS Growth Rate is the Compound Average Annual

Growth rate in the Company’s basic earnings per share

(EPS) (expressed as a percentage) over the Performance

Period using the 2016/2017 financial year EPS as the base.

The 2016/2017 financial year EPS has been determined as 18.9

cents per share. This has been calculated as follows:

• Company earnings, net profit after tax, was $38.0 million

• Weighted average shares on issue of 201.5 million

• Resulting earnings per share 18.9 cents per share

Performance Period

The applicable Performance Period is 1 August 2017

to 31 July 2020.

The EPS Growth Rate over the Performance Period is

calculated using the following formula:

[EPS Growth Rate = [EPS pp/EPS base]

1/x

- 1 ] where:

EPS pp = EPS over the Performance Period

EPS base = EPS in the 2016/2017 financial year

x = no of years in the Performance Period (i.e. 3).

The calculation of EPS over the Performance Period:

• Will include in the earnings calculation all costs of

performance rights that are expensed during the

Performance Period; and

• Will ignore any performance rights for which a share

has not been issued (i.e. unvested performance rights).

In relation to the performance rights:

• No performance rights subject to EPS Growth

Condition will vest unless the EPS Growth Rate over the

Performance Period is equal to or greater than 7%.

• 100% of the performance rights subject to the EPS

Growth Condition will vest if the EPS Growth Rate

over the Performance Period is equal to or greater

than 12%.

• The proportion of the performance rights subject

to the EPS Growth Condition that will vest will

increase on a straight-line basis for an EPS Growth

Rate of between 7% and 12% so that the number

of EPS performance rights that vest increases by an

additional 10% for each additional 1% increase in the

Company’s EPS Growth Rate.

The vesting scale for the proportion of the performance rights

subject to the EPS Growth Condition is summarised in the

following table:

Treatment of performance rights on termination

of employment

Where Mr Simonet’s employment ceases before the performance

rights have vested, the treatment of unvested performance

rights depends on a number of factors, including the

circumstances in which he has ceased employment. In general,

where the Executive Director’s employment is terminated:

• for serious misconduct, unvested performance rights will

lapse; or

• in other circumstances, unvested performance rights will

remain on foot and will vest in the ordinary course subject

to the performance hurdles outlined above.

The Board retains a discretion to vest or lapse unvested

performance rights with effect from the termination date in

appropriate circumstances. It is intended that the discretion

to accelerate vesting would only be exercised in the event of

death or total and permanent disablement.

ASX Listing Rule Requirements

Pursuant to the requirements of ASX Listing Rule 10.15, the

following additional information is provided regarding Item 4:

• No consideration was payable for any of the

performance rights.

• In accordance with the approval received from

shareholders at the 2016 Annual Meeting, Xavier Simonet

was granted 293,078 performance rights on 19 December

2016 under the Plan.

• The Plan provides that any Director of the Company who

holds salaried employment is eligible to participate in

8KATHMANDU NOTICE OF ANNUAL MEETING 2017

awards under the Plan. The only Director who is eligible to
participate in the Plan is Xavier Simonet.

• There is no loan attaching to the offer under the Plan.

• Any additional Directors who become entitled to

participate in the Plan after the shareholders have

approved it who are not named in this notice of meeting

will not participate until approval is obtained under ASX

Listing Rule 10.14.

• Performance rights will be issued no later than 12 months

after the meeting, and as soon as practicable after the

meeting. All Shares to be issued or transferred upon

vesting of performance rights, will be issued or transferred

(as the case may be) no later than 20 December 2020.
