Under section 207T of the Companies Act 1993,

with section 207S of the Companies Act 1993.

EXPLANATORY NOTE 3 –

LONG TERM VARIABLE REMUNERATION ISSUED

TO THE MANAGING DIRECTOR AND CHIEF

EXECUTIVE OFFICER

Introduction

The Board believes that the issue of equity-based

long-term variable remuneration instruments (LTVR

Instruments) will provide appropriate alignment of

participating employees to grow the total shareholder

return of the Company. LTVR Instruments also assist

the Company to attract, motivate and retain key

employees in an environment where such employees

are in high demand, both within New Zealand and

internationally. LTVR Instruments will be issued to

employees as a long-term component of remuneration

provided to employees in accordance with the

Company’s remuneration policy.

The Company currently operates the following

long-term variable remuneration arrangements

(the LTVR Plans) under which LTVR Instruments

NOTICE OF ANNUAL SHAREHOLDERS’ MEETING 20219
will be issued to selected executives, managers

and employees:

• The Fisher & Paykel Healthcare 2019 Performance

Share Rights Plan (the 2019 Performance Share

Rights Plan), under which performance share rights

are issued. This was introduced as a replacement

for the previous Performance Share Rights Plan

that was first introduced in 2012. Under the 2019

Performance Share Rights Plan, performance share

rights vest and become exercisable for ordinary

shares depending on the achievement of a

designated total shareholder return hurdle.

• The Fisher & Paykel Healthcare 2019 Share Option

Plan (the 2019 Option Plan). This was introduced

as a replacement for the 2003 Share Option Plan.

Under the 2019 Option Plan, options are issued,

which vest and become exercisable for ordinary

shares depending on share price performance

relative to a cost of capital benchmark.

Shareholder approval being sought

Shareholder approval is being sought:

• under resolution 4, to issue up to 60,000

performance share rights under the Performance

Share Rights Plan; and

• under resolution 5, to issue up to 190,000 options

under the Option Plan,

in each case to Lewis Gradon, the Managing

Director and Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

Mr Gradon is the only Director eligible to participate

in new grants under the LTVR Plans. The Company

intends to issue these LTVR Instruments to Mr Gradon

within six months of the date of the Annual

Shareholders’ Meeting.

The following tables compare the number of LTVR

Instruments proposed to be issued to Mr Gradon

this year against the total maximum number proposed

last year, as well as the total number of actual LTVR

Instruments issued to Mr Gradon last year.

The Company also intends to issue, pursuant to NZX

Listing Rule 4.6, up to [1,750,000] LTVR Instruments

in aggregate, to selected senior executives, managers

and other employees of the Company and its

subsidiaries. Together with the maximum number

of LTVR Instruments proposed to be issued to

Mr Gradon, the Company therefore intends to issue

no more than a maximum aggregate of 2,000,000

LTVR Instruments to employees, including Mr Gradon,

following the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting. This

maximum aggregate number equates to the issue

of LTVR Instruments to acquire shares representing

approximately 0.3% of the total ordinary shares

on issue. If all 2,000,000 LTVR Instruments were

exercised for shares, then shareholders would be

diluted by this percentage amount. In 2020, the actual

number of LTVR Instruments issued was 605,501.

The LTVR Instruments are proposed to be issued to

Mr Gradon under NZX Listing Rule 4.6, which does

not require shareholder approval of the issue, given

Mr Gradon’s participation has been determined by

criteria applying to employees generally under the

LTVR Plans. However, the Company has determined it

will seek shareholder approval for the issue, consistent

with its prior practice. If shareholders do not approve

the proposed issue of LTVR Instruments to Mr Gradon,

the Board will investigate alternative long-term

variable remuneration arrangements for Mr Gradon.

Prior to the introduction of the 2019 Performance

Share Rights Plan and the 2019 Option Plan, the Board

instructed an independent advisor, PwC, to conduct a

review of the LTVR Instruments, including whether the

inclusion of re-testing provisions in the plans was

appropriate. The PwC advice concluded that to

completely remove the re-testing provisions in the

LTVR Plans would reduce the grant date “fair value”

of LTVR Instruments (confirmed by independent

valuation advice from KPMG), reduce the probability

of vesting while increasing the potential for employees

to periodically earn excessive rewards when vesting

occurred. Accordingly, PwC recommended that

re-testing provisions be retained in the plans.

The Board agrees that the retention of re-testing

provisions in the LTVR Plans is appropriate. Removing

re-testing reduces fair value of the LTVR Instruments,

and so increases the number of instruments granted

to provide the same fair value total remuneration to

employees. The Board agrees that this is likely to

increase the short-term volatility in returns to

employees. Consequently, the Board believes that

the likely lower volatility of the current plans (including

re-testing) provides a more appropriate balance

between market-linked return to employees and the

Company’s stated long-term approach to sustainable,

profitable growth.

The LTVR Instruments are designed to retain the

Company’s key employees over the long term and

the quantum of the grant takes into consideration

the likelihood of them being paid out.

A summary of the key terms of the Performance

Share Rights Plan and Option Plan is set out on

the pages that follow.

Fisher & Paykel Healthcare Corporation Limited
12

Key Terms of the 2019 Performance Share

Rights Plan

The key terms of the 2019 Performance Share Rights

Plan are:

• No amount is payable by a participant for the grant

of performance share rights.

• One share right gives the participant the potential

to exercise that performance share right for one

ordinary share in the Company at no cost.

• Whether (and how many) performance share rights

become exercisable will depend on the Company’s

gross total shareholder return (TSR) performance

compared to the performance of the Dow Jones

US Select Medical Equipment Total Return Index

(DJSMDQT) in New Zealand dollars over the same

period (the Index return).

• The Company’s TSR will be calculated and

compared against the Index return at the end

of a “performance period” ending on the fifth

anniversary of the grant of the performance share

rights (the Grant Date) (the PSR Performance

Period) and also at the end of performance periods

ending on the third and fourth anniversaries of

the Grant Date (the Early Performance Periods).

• Performance share rights will only become

exercisable if the Company’s TSR over the relevant

performance period exceeds the Index return

over the same period, measured in absolute terms.

If, at the end of the PSR Performance Period, the

Company’s TSR performance over that period

exceeds the Index return over the same period

by less than 10%, measured in absolute terms,

then between 50% and 100% of the performance

share rights held by the participant, as determined

on a straight-line basis by the Board, become

exercisable. If the Company’s TSR over the

PSR Performance Period or either of the Early

Performance Periods exceeds the Index return

over the same period by 10% or more, measured

in absolute terms, then all of the performance

share rights will become exercisable as at the

end of the relevant performance period.

NOTICE OF ANNUAL SHAREHOLDERS’ MEETING 202113
• At the end of each performance period, the

Company will advise each participant whether any

of their performance share rights are exercisable

depending on the above methodology and, if they

are, the number of performance share rights which

are exercisable.

• Exercisable performance share rights may only

be exercised during the 20 business day period

from the date that the participant is notified

that the performance share rights have become

exercisable following the end of the relevant

performance period (excluding, at the Board’s

discretion, any days when trading restrictions

apply to a participant) (the Exercise Period).

Any exercisable performance share rights may be

exercised by the participant at any time during the

Exercise Period and will be deemed to be exercised

at 4.59pm on the last day of the Exercise Period if

they have not been exercised or surrendered by

the participant before that time.

• If no performance share rights are exercisable

because the Company’s TSR over the performance

period has not exceeded the Index return over the

same period, the process is repeated at the end

of the subsequent performance period.

• Unless otherwise determined by the Board,

a participant’s performance share rights will

lapse on the first to occur of the following events:

– the date of receipt by the Company of written

notice from the participant surrendering their

performance share rights;

– 5.00 pm on the last day of the Exercise Period

in respect of the PSR Performance Period;

– in the case of performance share rights held

by a participant who ceases to be employed

because of serious illness, accident, permanent

disablement, redundancy or death, in each case

after the third anniversary of the date of grant

of the performance share rights, the last date

of the Exercise Period in respect of the next

performance period following the date on which

the participant ceases to be employed; and

Fisher & Paykel Healthcare Corporation Limited
14

– in the case of performance share rights held

by a participant who ceases to be employed

because of any other reason, the day on

which that person ceases to be employed.

• Subject to any applicable Listing Rules, the Board

is given discretion to adjust the terms of any

performance share rights to achieve equivalent

treatment as between the participants in the

2019 Performance Share Rights Plan and the

shareholders in the event of a change in the

capital structure of the Company.

• The Board is also given discretion to amend the

terms of the 2019 Performance Share Rights Plan,

or of performance share rights, in the case of a

takeover or other change of control transaction in

respect of the Company, so as to allow participants

to participate in the benefit of that transaction.

• The Company may amend the terms of the 2019

Performance Share Rights Plan, subject to the

consent of any adversely affected participant.

• Performance share rights are not transferable,

other than to certain persons associated with

an employee and approved by the Board, and do

not participate in dividends or other distributions

of the Company. Participants are not entitled to

participate in new issues of the underlying

securities (such as a rights issue or bonus issue)

prior to exercising the performance share rights.

• Performance share rights will not be quoted on

either the NZX Main Board or the ASX markets.

So long as the Company remains listed on the NZX

Main Board and/or the ASX markets, it is intended

that the shares issued on exercise of performance

share rights will be quoted on the NZX Main Board

and/or the ASX markets (as applicable).

• Ordinary shares issued or transferred on the

exercise of performance share rights will be fully

paid and rank equally with all other ordinary shares

in the Company except for dividends or other

entitlements in respect of which the record date

occurred prior to the date of issue or transfer of

the relevant shares.

NOTICE OF ANNUAL SHAREHOLDERS’ MEETING 202115
Key Terms of the 2019 Option Plan

The key terms of the 2019 Option Plan are:

• No amount is payable for the grant of options.

• One option gives the participant the right to

subscribe at the exercise price for one ordinary

share in the Company.

• An option may be exercised only if, on one of

the dates referred to in the next paragraph, the

company’s volume weighted average share price

on the NZX Main Board over the five business days

before that date, exceeds the “Escalated Price”

(described on the following page) on that date.

• The share price will be weighed against the

Escalated Price at the end of a “Performance

Period” ending on the fifth anniversary of the date

of grant of an option (“Grant Date”) and also at

the end of periods ending on the third and fourth

anniversaries of the Grant Date. If the share price

exceeds the Escalated Price at any of those dates,

options may be exercised during a period of

90 business days (excluding, at the Board’s

discretion, any days when trading restrictions

apply to a participant) (“Exercise Period”) after

the Company advises the option holder that the

options have become exercisable. If options have

become exercisable, the holder of those options

may exercise all or some of those options during

an Exercise Period, but any options of that holder

issued on the same Grant Date that are not

exercised will be cancelled, and cannot be

exercised in a later Exercise Period.

• Unless otherwise determined by the Board, options

lapse on the holder ceasing to be employed by

the Company or a subsidiary. If an option holder

ceases to be employed by reason of serious illness,

accident, permanent disablement, redundancy, or

death after the third anniversary of the Grant Date,

that holder’s options remain in force until the end

of the next Exercise Period after the date the holder

ceases to be employed.

Fisher & Paykel Healthcare Corporation Limited
16

• The exercise price of options is the company’s

volume weighted average share price on the NZX

Main Board over the five business days before the

Grant Date.

• The Escalated Price is determined as follows:

– As at each anniversary of the Grant Date of an

option, a new “base price” will be calculated by:

– increasing the last calculated base price

(which, as at the first anniversary of the

Grant Date, will be the exercise price of the

option) by a percentage amount determined

by the Board to represent the Company’s

cost of capital; and

– reducing the resulting figure by the amount

of any dividend paid by the Company in the

12-month period immediately preceding

that anniversary.

– The Escalated Price on any particular

anniversary of the Grant Date will be the base

price determined as at that anniversary of the

Grant Date, determined in accordance with

the above.

• The Board is given discretion to adjust the terms

of any options (including the exercise price) to

achieve equivalent treatment as between the

participants in the 2019 Option Plan and the

shareholders in the event of a change in the

capital structure of the Company.

• The Board is also given discretion to amend the

terms of the 2019 Option Plan or any options in

the case of a takeover or other change of control

transaction in respect of the Company, so as to

allow option holders to participate in the benefit

of that transaction.

• The Company may amend the terms of the 2019

Option Plan, subject to the consent of any

adversely affected participant.

• Options are not transferable, other than to certain

persons associated with an employee, and do not

participate in dividends or other distributions of

NOTICE OF ANNUAL SHAREHOLDERS’ MEETING 202117
the Company. Participants are not entitled

to participate in new issues of the underlying

securities (such as a rights issue or bonus issue)

prior to exercising the options.

• Options will not be quoted on either the NZX Main

Board or the ASX markets. So long as the Company

remains listed on the NZX Main Board and/or the

ASX markets, it is intended that the shares issued

on exercise of options will be quoted on the NZX

Main Board and/or the ASX markets (as applicable).

• Ordinary shares issued or transferred on the

exercise of options will be fully paid and rank

equally with all other ordinary shares in the

Company except for dividends or other

entitlements in respect of which the record date

occurred prior to the date of issue or transfer of

the relevant shares.

• The Cancellation Offer facility approved by

shareholders at the 2004 Annual Shareholders’

Meeting (which allows optionholders to cancel

vested options in consideration for shares of a

value equal to the gain that the optionholders

would receive if they exercised their options)

applies to the options granted under the 2019

Option Plan.

Proxy Appointment

7 If you are a shareholder entitled to attend and vote at the Annual

Shareholders’ Meeting you are entitled to appoint a proxy or, in the

case of a corporate shareholder, a representative to attend and vote

instead of you. A proxy may be appointed by completing this Voting

Form on-line, or the Voting Form may be completed and mailed,

delivered, or scanned and emailed in accordance with the

instructions on the back of this form.

8 A proxy can be any person of your choice and does not have to be

a shareholder of Fisher & Paykel Healthcare. If you wish you can

appoint the Chair of the Meeting as your proxy. The Chair will vote

in accordance with your instructions, or, failing your instruction, in

accordance with the terms set out in note 9 of this Voting Form.

9 If you tick the box “discretion” on any resolution, you are directing

your proxy or representative to decide how to vote on that

resolution on your behalf. If you tick the “abstain” box on any

resolution, you are directing your proxy or representative not to

vote on that resolution. If you return this Voting Form without a

direction as to how to vote on any resolution, or if you tick more

than one box in relation to any resolution, the vote on that

resolution will be treated as “discretion” and your proxy will exercise

his/her discretion as to whether to vote and, if so, how. The Chair

intends to vote discretionary proxies in favour of Resolutions 2 to 5.

The Chair will abstain from voting on any discretionary proxies in

respect of Resolution 1.

10 This Voting Form must be signed by you or your attorney, duly

authorised in writing. In the case of a joint shareholding, this form

must be signed by each of the joint shareholders (or their duly

authorised attorney). In the case of a corporate shareholder, this

Voting Form must be signed by a director or a duly authorised

officer acting under the express or implied authority of the

corporate shareholder, or an attorney duly authorised by the

corporate shareholder.

11 If this Voting Form is signed under a power of attorney, a certificate

of non-revocation must be completed and a copy of the power of

attorney certified by a Solicitor, Justice of the Peace or Notary Public

provided to Link Market Services Limited, unless it has already been

noted by the Company or Link Market Services Limited.

General

12 The Company will disregard any votes cast in favour of Resolutions

4 or 5 by Lewis Gradon and any of his associated persons (as that

term is defined in the NZX Listing Rules).

13 The Company need not disregard a vote cast in favour of

Resolutions 4 or 5 by a person referred to in paragraph 11 if that

vote is cast by that person as proxy for a person who is entitled to

vote, in accordance with an express direction on the Voting Form.

COVID-19 IMPLICATIONS

Given the current uncertainty regarding COVID-19, the Company may,

in its sole discretion, elect to hold the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting as

an online only meeting in the event that it considers there are potential

risks to the health of meeting attendees. In such circumstances, the

Company will provide as much notice as is reasonably practicable,

by way of announcement to the NZX and ASX.
