NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING 2020

DEAR SHAREHOLDER,

I am pleased to invite you to Downer’s 2020 Annual General Meeting (AGM) to be held at 11.00am

(Sydney time) on 5 November 2020.

In light of the COVID-19 pandemic and the potential for continued restrictions on physical gatherings,

and to ensure the safety of shareholders and other participants, our Annual General Meeting this year

will be held virtually. Participants can attend via an online platform using their computer or mobile

device and shareholders and proxyholders will be able to ask questions and vote in real time, subject

to the connectivity of their devices.

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

virtually with the Board, hear from the Managing Director and CEO and ask questions.

FINANCIAL REPORT, DIRECTORS’ REPORT AND INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

The first item of business will be to consider and receive the Financial Report, the Directors’ Report

and the Independent Auditor’s Report for the year ended 30 June 2020.

RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTOR

The second item of business seeks approval for my re-election as an Independent

Non-executive Director.

I joined the Board in 2008 and am currently Chairman of the Board, Chairman of the Nominations and

Corporate Governance Committee, and a member of the Remuneration, Disclosure, Rail Projects,

and Tender Risk Evaluation Committees.

If re-elected, my focus will be on the long-term performance of Downer, the ongoing Board renewal

process and transition of the role of Chairman of the Board. I do not intend to seek a further term.

REMUNERATION REPORT AND PERFORMANCE RIGHTS

The third item of business seeks approval of the Remuneration Report and the fourth item of

business seeks approval of the grant of performance rights to the Managing Director as part of his

2021 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 22 of Downer’s Annual 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 2020 financial year. I ask that you consider this

letter and accompanying pages in the 2020 Annual Report when forming your views on these items

of business.

Yours sincerely,

Mike Harding

Chairman

ended 30 June 2020.

Note:

– No resolution is required for this item of business.

2. ELECTION OF DIRECTOR

To consider and, if thought fit, pass the following ordinary

resolution:

“That Mr Mike Harding, who was appointed as an Independent

Non-executive Director of the Company on 1 July 2008 and in

accordance with Rule 3.6 of the Company’s Constitution and being

eligible, offers himself for re-election, is elected as a Non-executive

Director of Downer.”

3. ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT

To consider, and if thought fit, pass the following ordinary

resolution:

“That the Remuneration Report for the year ended 30 June 2020

be adopted.”

Notes:

– This resolution is subject to voting exclusions, which are set out

in the Explanatory Memorandum.

– This resolution is advisory only and does not bind Downer or

the Directors.

– The Directors will consider the outcome of the vote and

comments made by shareholders on the Remuneration Report

at the meeting when reviewing Downer’s remuneration policies.

If 25% or more of votes that are cast are voted against this

resolution and again at the 2021 Annual General Meeting in relation

to the 2021 Remuneration Report, shareholders will be required

to vote at the 2021 Annual General Meeting on a resolution that

another meeting be held within 90 days at which all of Downer’s

Directors (other than the Managing Director) must stand for

re-election.

A vote on this resolution must not be cast by or on behalf of a

member of the key management personnel (KMP), details of whose

remuneration are included in the Remuneration Report, 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 those KMP or any of their closely

related parties from voting as a proxy for a person who is not a

member of the KMP or a closely related party if:

– the person specifies the way the proxy is to vote on this

resolution in the proxy form; or

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

form does not specify the way the proxy is to vote and

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.

vesting by issue or by transfer as the Managing Director’s long-

term incentive for 2021 on the basis described in the Explanatory

Memorandum to this Notice of Meeting.”

Note:

– This resolution is subject to voting exclusions, which are set out

in the Explanatory Memorandum.

A member of the KMP for the Downer Group and their closely

related parties must not vote as proxy on this resolution unless

the proxy appointment specifies the way the proxy is to vote on

the resolution. However, the Chairman of the meeting may vote an

undirected proxy if the proxy appointment expressly authorises the

directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of KMP for

the Downer Group.

ITEM 2 RE-ELECTION OF MR R M HARDING

Mike Harding is a Non-executive Director who is retiring by

rotation in accordance with Downer’s Constitution. He is eligible to

be re-elected as a Director of Downer and intends to offer himself

for re-election with the unanimous support of the other Directors.

Mr Harding’s profile is set out below.

Mike Harding (71)

Independent Non-Executive Director since July 2008

Mr Harding has held management positions around the world with

British Petroleum (BP), including President and General Manager of

The Directors, in the absence of Mr Harding, unanimously

recommend that shareholders vote in favour of this resolution, as

Mr Harding’s skills and experience (as set out above) are valuable

to the Board's existing skills and experience. Mr Harding also adds

considerable strength and leadership as Chairman of the Board

and to the Committees on which he serves, including as Chairman

of the Nominations and Corporate Governance Committee,

and as a member of the Remuneration, Disclosure, Rail Projects,

and Tender Risk Evaluation Committees.

The Chairman of the meeting intends to vote undirected proxies

in favour of this resolution.

ITEM 3

ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT

The Remuneration Report is contained in the Directors’ Report

in the 2020 Annual Report. Shareholders can access a copy

of the report at the Downer website, www.downergroup.com.

The Remuneration Report provides information about the

remuneration arrangements for KMP, which includes

Non- executive Directors and the most senior executives,

for the year to 30 June 2020.

The Remuneration Report covers the following matters:

– An introductory letter from the Chairman and Chairman

of the Remuneration Committee to shareholders

– Year in review

– Details of Key Management Personnel

– Remuneration policy, principles and practices

– Relationship between remuneration policy and company

performance

– The Board’s role in remuneration

– Description of executive remuneration

– Details of executive remuneration

– Executive equity ownership

– Key terms of employment contracts

– Related party information

– Description of Non-executive Director remuneration.

Shareholders will be given a reasonable opportunity to ask

questions about, or make comments on, the Remuneration Report.

Shareholders will be asked to vote on the Remuneration Report.

The resolution is advisory only and does not bind Downer or its

Directors. The Board will consider the outcome of the vote and

comments made by shareholders on the Remuneration Report at

the meeting when reviewing Downer’s remuneration policies.

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 referred to as a “first strike” or “second strike”),

shareholders will be required to vote at the second of those AGMs

on a resolution that another general meeting be held within 90

days, at which all of the Company’s Directors in office at the time of

the Directors’ resolution to make the Directors’ Report containing

that second Remuneration Report (other than the Managing

Director) must stand for re-election.

At last year’s AGM the resolution to adopt the 2019 Remuneration

Report was carried with 97% of votes cast "for" the Remuneration

Report.

6 DOWNER EDI LIMITED
NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING 2020

Board recommendation

The Directors unanimously recommend that shareholders vote in

favour of Item 3 (Adoption of Remuneration Report).

Voting exclusions

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 does not specify the way the proxy is to vote and

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 2021 long-term incentive plan

(2021 LTIP) on the terms set out below (2021 Grant) and to seek

approval for that grant under ASX Listing Rule 10.14.

This approval is being sought because Listing Rule 10.14.1 provides

that a listed company must not permit a director of Downer to

acquire equity securities under an employee incentive scheme

unless it has been approved by shareholders. The 2021 Grant falls

within Listing Rule 10.14.1 above and therefore requires the approval

of Downer’s shareholders under Listing Rule 10.14.

Resolution 4 seeks the required shareholder approval to the 2021

Grant under and for the purposes of 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. Further, Downer will be able to

proceed with the 2021 Grant without impact on its ability to issue

up to 15% of its total ordinary securities without Shareholder

approval in any 12 month period.

PROPOSED LONG-TERM INCENTIVE FOR THE MANAGING

DIRECTOR FOR 2021

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. Performance rights are being used to

appropriately align Mr Fenn’s remuneration as Managing Director

with shareholder returns. 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 the

quantity of performance rights is determined (as described below).

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.

Mr Fenn is also eligible to receive an annual short-term incentive

(STI) up to a maximum opportunity of 100% of his fixed

remuneration. Any entitlement to an STI is at the discretion of the

Board, having regard to performance measures and targets. There

is no STI entitlement where Mr Fenn’s employment terminates prior

to the end of the financial year, other than in the event of a change

in control or by mutual agreement.

Dividends will be paid or accumulated only from the time the

performance rights vest.

ENTITLEMENT UNDER THE 2021 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 584,317

This quantity was calculated as his annual fixed remuneration

of $2,000,000 divided by $3.4228 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 2020, 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 2021

Grant will be made within 12 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.

NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING 2020

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 2021 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 2021 Grant will be divided into three equal

tranches subject to the following performance hurdles:

– relative total shareholder return (TSR);

– compound annual earnings per share (EPS) growth; 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 2023. 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

percentile and 75th percentile

75th percentile and above100%

The comparator group for the 2021 Grant is the companies,

excluding financial services companies, in the ASX100 index as at

the start of the performance period on 1 July 2020.

EPS growth is measured over the three-year performance period to

30 July 2023. 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.

The performance of each component will be measured over the

three-year period to 30 June 2023.

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 2021 Grant will be the three years

from 1 July 2020 to 30 June 2023 and the service period will end

on 30 June 2024.

CHANGE OF CONTROL

Under the 2021 LTIP, if there is a change in control of Downer

during the performance period, provided at least 12 months of

the 2021 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.

DOWNER EDI LIMITED 8
NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING 2020

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

Board recommendation

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

of shareholders to approve the performance right-based 2021

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 2021 Grant and the Managing Director’s participation in the

2021 LTIP.

Voting exclusions

The Company will disregard any votes cast in favour of Item 4 by

or on behalf of:

– Mr Fenn; or

– associates of Mr Fenn.

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

the resolution by:

– a person as proxy or attorney for a person who is entitled to

vote on the resolution, in accordance with directions given to

the proxy or attorney to vote on the resolution in that way; or

– the Chairman of the meeting as proxy or attorney for a person

who is entitled to vote on the resolution, in accordance with a

direction given to the Chairman to vote on the resolution as the

Chairman decides; or

– a holder acting solely in a nominee, trustee, custodial or other

fiduciary capacity on behalf of a beneficiary provided the

following conditions are met:

• the beneficiary provides written confirmation to the

holder that the beneficiary is not excluded from voting,

and is not an associate of a person excluded from voting,

on the resolution; and

• the holder votes on the resolution in accordance with

directions given by the beneficiary to the holder to vote in

that way.

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).
