DEAR SHAREHOLDER,
I am pleased to invite you to Downer’s 2018 Annual General Meeting (AGM) to be held at 11:00am

(Sydney time) on 1 November 2018 at the Northside Conference Centre.

Downer’s AGM is the occasion where Shareholders vote on a number of important resolutions,

which are outlined in this Notice of Meeting. It also provides Shareholders with the opportunity

to meet the Board, hear from the Managing Director and CEO, and ask questions.

ELECTION AND RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

The first item of business seeks approval for the election of our new Director, Ms Nicole Hollows,

to the Board as well as for the re-election of Mr Philip Garling.

Ms Hollows joined the Board in June 2018. With a financial and management background and

previous leadership roles as Chief Financial Officer and Chief Executive Officer across the public

and private sectors, including in mining, utilities and rail, Ms Hollows will be a valuable addition

to the Board.

Mr Garling joined the Board in 2011 and is currently Chair of the Rail Projects Committee and a

member of the Audit and Risk and Remuneration Committees. Mr Garling previously served as

Chair of the Remuneration Committee.

Both Directors have been strong contributors to the Board.

REMUNERATION REPORT AND PERFORMANCE RIGHTS

These resolutions seek approval of the Remuneration Report and the grant of performance rights

to the Managing Director as part of his 2019 financial year remuneration.

The Board has been working hard over many years to ensure that executive pay is appropriate and

aligned with the outcomes of the business. Page 21 of Downer’s Remuneration Report contains a

covering letter from me and the Chairman of the Remuneration Committee that sets out a summary

of Downer’s remuneration strategy and outcomes for the 2018 financial year. I ask that you consider

this letter and accompanying pages in the 2018 Annual Report when forming your views on these

items of business.

Yours sincerely,

Mike Harding

Chairman

Under the Corporations Act, if at least 25% of the votes cast on the

resolution are against the adoption of the relevant Remuneration

Report at two consecutive Annual General Meetings (each an

“AGM”, and any such potential 25% or more vote ‘against’ commonly

A vote on Item 3 (Adoption of Remuneration Report) must not be

cast by or on behalf of a member of the KMP or by any of their

closely related parties (such as certain of their family members,

dependants and companies they control).

However, this does not prevent a member of the KMP, details of

whose remuneration are included in the Remuneration Report,

or any of their closely related parties, from voting as a proxy for a

person who is not a member of those KMP or any of their closely

related parties if:

–the person specifies the way the proxy is to vote on Item 3

(Remuneration Report) in the proxy form; or

–the person voting as a proxy is the Chairman and the proxy

form expressly authorises the Chairman to exercise the proxy

even if the resolution is directly or indirectly connected with the

remuneration of a member of the KMP for the Downer Group.

If you choose to appoint a proxy, you are strongly encouraged

to direct your proxy how to vote on Item 3 (Adoption of

Remuneration Report) by marking any one of “For”, “Against”

or “Abstain” on the proxy form for that item of business.

As set out in the section on Appointing a proxy, if you have

appointed the Chairman of the meeting as your proxy and

you do not mark any of “For”, “Against” or “Abstain” on the

proxy form, you will be expressly authorising the Chairman to

vote any proxies held by him in favour of Item 3 (Adoption of

Remuneration Report), even if that item is connected directly

or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of the KMP

for the Downer Group.

The Chairman of the meeting intends to vote any undirected proxies

held by him in favour of Item 3 (Adoption of Remuneration Report).

ITEM 4

APPROVAL OF MANAGING DIRECTOR’S

LONG TERM INCENTIVE

It is proposed to grant the Managing Director performance rights

in Downer as the Managing Director’s 2019 long term incentive plan

(2019 LTIP) on the terms set out below (2019 Grant) and to seek

approval for that grant under ASX Listing Rule 10.14. If approval is

granted under ASX Listing Rule 10.14, the Company will be permitted

to issue ordinary shares in the Company to Mr Fenn in satisfaction of

its obligations under those performance rights if and when they vest.

NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING 2018 5

NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING 2018

PROPOSED LONG TERM INCENTIVE FOR THE
MANAGING DIRECTOR FOR 2019

As a senior executive, Mr Grant Fenn has participated in Downer’s

long term incentive plans (LTIPs) since 2009 and in his capacity as

Managing Director since July 2010.

Under his employment agreement with Downer as Managing

Director, Mr Fenn is entitled to be granted performance rights

each year with a maximum value equal to 100% of his annual fixed

remuneration. The performance rights are subject to long term

performance requirements and therefore only vest to Mr Fenn if

those performance requirements are met. In the event that the

resolution is not passed by shareholders, the Board intends to

provide an LTIP equivalent through an alternative mechanism

in order to meet Mr Fenn’s contractual entitlements.

In accordance with Downer’s contractual commitments, it is

proposed to grant Mr Fenn performance rights with a maximum

value of 100% of his annual fixed remuneration at the time of

grant as his 2019 Grant. Mr Fenn’s current fixed remuneration is

$2,000,000. The grant will be in the form of performance rights

which are a right to receive fully paid Downer ordinary shares

which may be purchased on-market or issued by the Company.

Dividends will be paid or accumulated only from the time the

performance rights vest.

ENTITLEMENT UNDER THE 2019 GRANT

Mr Fenn will receive a grant on the same terms and at the same

time as other eligible employees.

Subject to shareholder approval being obtained, the maximum

number of performance rights granted to Mr Fenn will be 301,791.

This quantity was calculated as his annual fixed remuneration

of $2,000,000 divided by $6.6271 being the daily average of

the volume weighted average price of Downer shares for the 10

trading days following the release of Downer’s results for the year

ended 30 June 2018, adjusted for the estimated value of dividends

during the vesting period that do not attach to the rights. Each

performance right will convert to one ordinary share once all

vesting conditions are met.

If shareholders approve the proposed resolution in Item 4 (Approval

of Managing Director’s long term incentive), the 2019 Grant will be

made within twelve months from the date of this meeting.

Details of any securities issued under the Company’s LTI Plan will

be published in each annual report of the Company relating to a

period in which securities have been issued, and that approval for

the issue of securities was obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.14.

Any additional persons referred to in ASX Listing Rule 10.14 who

become entitled to participate in the Company’s LTI Plan after the

resolution is approved and who are not named in this Notice of

Meeting and Explanatory Memorandum will not participate until

approval is obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.14.

PRICE ON GRANT OR VESTING

No amount is payable by the Managing Director on grant or vesting

of the performance rights.

VESTING CONDITIONS

Vesting of performance rights granted under the 2019 LTIP will

be subject to:

–meeting certain performance hurdles over a specified

period; and

–continued employment with Downer over a period determined

by the Board (service period).

Mr Fenn’s proposed 2019 Grant will be divided into three equal

tranches subject to the following performance hurdles:

–relative total shareholder return (TSR);

–compound annual earnings per share growth (EPS); and

–net profit after tax and before amortisation of acquired

intangibles (NPATA) and free cash flow (FFO) (Scorecard).

TSR is measured over the three-year performance period to

30 June 2021. TSR is calculated as the difference in share price

over the performance period, plus the value of shares earned from

reinvesting dividends received over this period, expressed as a

percentage of the share price at the beginning of the performance

period. If the TSR for each company in the comparator group

(see below) is ranked from highest to lowest, the median TSR is

the percentage return to shareholders that exceeds the TSR for

half of the comparison companies. The 75th percentile TSR is

the percentage return required to exceed the TSR for 75% of

the comparison companies.

Performance rights in the tranche to which the relative TSR

performance requirement applies vest in accordance with the

following table:

in the tranche will vest for every

The comparator group for the 2019 LTI grant is the companies,

excluding financial services companies, in the ASX100 index as

at the start of the performance period on 1 July 2018.

Earnings per Share (EPS) growth is measured over the three-year

performance period to 30 July 2021. The EPS measure is based

on AASB 133 Earnings per Share and is externally audited.

The tranche of shares dependent on the EPS performance

condition vests pro rata between 5% compound annual EPS

growth and 10% compound annual EPS growth.

Performance rights in the tranche to which the EPS performance

requirement applies vest in accordance with the following table:

The Scorecard condition will be comprised of two independent

absolute components of equal weighting. These components will

be based on Group NPATA and Group FFO. FFO is defined as net

cash flow from operating activities less investing cash flow.

6 DOWNER EDI LIMITED

NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING 2018

The performance of each component will be measured over the
three year period to 30 June 2021.

NPATA and FFO targets will be set at the beginning of each of

the three financial years. The performance of each component

will be assessed each year relative to the targets. Performance of

each component will be determined as the average of the annual

performance assessments for the three years.

Performance rights in the tranche to which the Scorecard

performance requirement applies vest in accordance with the

following table:

Once some or all of the performance rights have met the vesting

conditions, the performance rights will not vest unless the Board is

satisfied there has been no conduct on the part of Mr Fenn that the

Board considers inappropriate and that the financial results against

which the performance vesting condition were tested were not

incorrect in a material respect and were not reversed or restated.

PERFORMANCE PERIOD

The performance period for the 2019 Grant will be the three years

from 1 July 2018 to 30 June 2021 and the service period will end

on 30 June 2022.

CHANGE OF CONTROL

Under the 2019 LTIP, if there is a change in control of Downer

during the performance period, provided at least 12 months of

the 2019 Grant’s performance period have elapsed, unvested

performance rights pro-rated with the elapsed performance

period are tested for vesting with performance against the

relevant performance hurdles for that period.

Performance rights that have already been tested and have met

performance requirements but remain subject to the completion

of the service period condition will fully vest.

Neither unvested pro-rated performance rights nor performance

rights that have already been tested and met performance

requirements will vest unless the Board is satisfied that there has

been no conduct on the part of Mr Fenn that the Board considers

inappropriate and that the financial results against which the

performance hurdles were tested were not incorrect in a material

respect and were not reversed or restated.

CESSATION OF EMPLOYMENT

Upon cessation of employment of the Managing Director for

any reason, all performance rights that have not vested by the

cessation of employment will be forfeited unless, subject to the

termination benefit provisions of the Corporations Act, the Board

exercises its discretion to permit the Managing Director to retain

performance rights by deeming him to be an “Eligible Leaver”.

If Mr Fenn is deemed to be an Eligible Leaver, he may be entitled

to retain some or all of his performance rights and these will be

tested for vesting against the Vesting Conditions other than the

Continued Employment Condition in their normal course. An

Eligible Leaver’s performance rights will be settled with fully paid

Downer ordinary shares or in cash in the Board’s sole and absolute

discretion. No performance rights will vest unless the Board is

satisfied that there has been no conduct on the part of Mr Fenn

that the Board considers inappropriate and that the financial results

against which the performance hurdles were tested were not

incorrect in a material respect and were not reversed or restated.

OTHER INFORMATION

–Mr Fenn is the only Director of the Company who is entitled

to participate in the Company’s LTI Plan;

–No loan is being made to Mr Fenn in relation to the acquisition

of performance rights; and

–In accordance with the approval of shareholders at the 2017

Annual General Meeting, for Mr Fenn’s 2018 LTIP, Mr Fenn was

granted 332,160 performance rights. This quantity was calculated

as 100% of his annual fixed remuneration of $2,000,000 divided

by $6.0212, being the daily average of the volume weighted

average price of Downer shares for the 10 trading days following

the release of Downer’s results for the year ended 30 June 2017,

adjusted for the estimated value of dividends during the vesting

period that do not attach to the rights.

Board recommendation

In the view of the Non-executive Directors, it is in the best interests

of shareholders to approve the performance right-based 2019

long term incentive grant to the Managing Director because it

appropriately aligns the Managing Director’s remuneration with

shareholder returns. Your Directors (in the absence of the Managing

Director) therefore recommend shareholders approve the 2019

Grant and the Managing Director’s participation in the 2019 LTIP.

Voting exclusions

The Company will disregard any votes cast on Item 4 by:

–Mr Fenn; and

–associates of Mr Fenn.

However the Company need not disregard a vote in favour of the

resolution if:

–it is cast by a person as proxy for a person who is entitled to

vote, in accordance with the directions on the proxy form; or

–it is cast by the person chairing the meeting as proxy for a

person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with a direction

on the proxy form to vote as the proxy decides.

Shareholders should note that apart from Mr Fenn no Director is

eligible to participate in any employee incentive scheme in relation

to the Company.

If you choose to appoint a proxy, you are strongly encouraged

to direct your proxy how to vote on Item 4 (Approval of

Managing Director’s long term incentive) by marking any one

of “For”, “Against” or “Abstain” on the proxy form for that

item of business. As set out in the section on Appointing a

proxy, if you have appointed the Chairman of the meeting

as your proxy and you do not mark any of “For”, “Against”

or “Abstain” on the proxy form, you will be expressly

authorising the Chairman to vote any proxies held by him

in favour of Item 4 (Approval of Managing Director’s long

term incentive) even if that item is connected directly or

indirectly with the remuneration of a member of KMP for

the Downer Group.

The Chairman of the meeting intends to vote any undirected

proxies held by him in favour of Item 4 (Approval of Managing

Director’s long term incentive).

Proxy Form




For your vote to be effective it must be received by 11:00am (Sydney time) Tuesday, 30 October 2018

How to Vote on Items of Business

All your securities will be voted in accordance with your directions.

Appointment of Proxy

Voting 100% of your holding: Direct your proxy how to vote by marking

one of the boxes opposite each item of business. If you do not mark a box

your proxy may vote or abstain as they choose (to the extent permitted by

law). If you mark more than one box on an item your vote will be invalid on

that item.

If you appoint the Chairman of the Meeting as your proxy and direct him to

vote 'For', 'Against' or 'Abstain' he will vote in accordance with that direction.

If you appoint the Chairman of the Meeting as your proxy but do not direct

him to vote 'For', 'Against' or 'Abstain' you will be expressly authorising him

to and he will vote your proxy in favour of each resolution, even though:

- Item 3 is directly or indirectly connected with the remuneration of a member

of the key management personnel, details of whose remuneration is

included in the Remuneration Report;

- Item 4 is directly or indirectly connected with the remuneration of a member

of the key management personnel of Downer Group.

Voting a portion of your holding: Indicate a portion of your voting rights

by inserting the percentage or number of securities you wish to vote in the

For, Against or Abstain box or boxes. The sum of the votes cast must not

exceed your voting entitlement or 100%.

Appointing a second proxy: You are entitled to appoint up to two proxies

to attend the meeting and vote on a poll. If you appoint two proxies you must

specify the percentage of votes or number of securities for each proxy,

otherwise each proxy may exercise half of the votes. When appointing a

second proxy write both names and the percentage of votes or number of

securities for each in Step 1 overleaf.

Signing Instructions for Postal Forms

Individual: Where the holding is in one name, the securityholder must sign.

Joint Holding: Where the holding is in more than one name, all of the

securityholders should sign.

Power of Attorney: If you have not already lodged the Power of Attorney

with the registry, please attach a certified photocopy of the Power of Attorney

to this form when you return it.

Companies: Where the company has a Sole Director who is also the Sole

Company Secretary, this form must be signed by that person. If the company

(pursuant to section 204A of the Corporations Act 2001) does not have a

Company Secretary, a Sole Director can also sign alone. Otherwise this form

must be signed by a Director jointly with either another Director or a Company

Secretary. Please sign in the appropriate place to indicate the office held, and

delete titles as applicable.

Attending the Meeting

Bring this form to assist registration. If a representative of a corporate

securityholder or proxy is to attend the meeting you will need to provide the

appropriate “Certificate of Appointment of Corporate Representative” prior to

admission. A form of the certificate may be obtained from Computershare or

online at www.investorcentre.com under the help tab, "Printable Forms".

Comments & Questions: If you have any comments or questions for the

company, please write them on a separate sheet of paper and return with this

form.
