Notice of Annual

General Meeting 2022

Notice is given that the Annual General Meeting of the Shareholders

of Downer EDI Limited (Downer or Company) will be held at:

The Auditorium

Northside Conference Centre

(Cnr Oxley Street & Pole Lane)

Crows Nest NSW 2065

On Thursday 3 November 2022

Commencing at 11:00am Sydney time

(meeting)

Registration will commence at 10:30am

Dear Shareholder,
I am pleased to invite you to Downer’s 2022 Annual General

Meeting (AGM) to be held at 11:00am (Sydney time) on

3 November 2022. Registration will open from 10:30am

(Sydney time).

After two years of restrictions on physical gatherings arising

from the COVID-19 pandemic, our AGM will return to being

held in person.

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 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 2022.

Election and re-election of Directors

The second item of business seeks approval for the election

of Mark Binns, Dr Adelle Howse and Mark Menhinnitt as

Independent Non-executive Directors as well as the re-election

of Teresa Handicott and Peter Watson as Independent

Non-executive Directors.

Mark Binns joined the Board in March 2022. Mark has extensive

experience in New Zealand in the energy, construction and

building materials sectors.

Adelle Howse joined the Board in April 2022. Adelle has

extensive experience in the infrastructure, energy and

resources, construction, data centres, telecommunication

and property sectors.

Mark Menhinnitt joined the Board in March 2022. Mark

has extensive domestic and international experience in

large infrastructure development and urban regeneration,

investment management, construction, asset services,

operations and maintenance.

Teresa Handicott joined the Board in September 2016

and is currently Chairman of the Remuneration and

Disclosure Committees and a member of the Audit and Risk,

and Nominations and Corporate Governance Committees.

Peter Watson joined the Board in May 2019 and is currently

the Chairman of the Tender Risk Evaluation and Zero Harm

Committees and a member of the Audit and Risk Committee.

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 2023 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. The Chairman’s letter on page 25 of Downer’s

Annual Report sets out a summary of Downer’s remuneration

strategy and outcomes for the 2022 financial year. I ask that you

consider this letter and accompanying pages in the 2022 Annual

Report when forming your views on these items of business.

Renewal of proportional takeover approval provisions

Downer’s constitution was amended in 2010 to include a

proportional takeover approval provision. The purpose of this

provision is to give shareholders the opportunity to decide

whether any proportional takeover bid for the Company should

succeed. As outlined in the Notice of Meeting, this item was last

voted on by shareholders and approved in 2019.

Directors fee limit

The final item of business seeks approval for an increase in the

limit on aggregate annual fees for Non-executive Directors from

$2,000,000 per annum to $2,400,000 per annum. The increased

amount takes account of the current market remuneration for

Non-executive Directors and provides for an aggregate amount

which will allow for the potential appointment of additional

Directors in the future. The Board has not sought an increase

in the aggregate Directors’ fees since 2008.

Yours sincerely,





Mark Chellew

Chairman

Item 3 Adoption of Remuneration Report
The Remuneration Report is contained in the Directors’ Report

in the 2022 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 2022.

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 2021

Remuneration Report was carried with over 97% of

votes cast “for” the Remuneration Report.

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

(Adoption of 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).

Notice of Annual General Meeting 2022 |09

Item 4 Approval of Managing Director’s Long-Term
Incentive (LTI)

It is proposed to grant the Managing Director performance

rights in Downer as the Managing Director’s 2023 long-term

incentive plan (2023 LTIP) on the terms set out below (2023

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 2023 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

2023 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 2023 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 2023

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 2023 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

466,625. This quantity was calculated as his annual fixed

remuneration of $2,000,000 divided by 4.2861 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 2022, 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 (LTI)),

the 2023 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.

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 2023 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 2023 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).

| Downer EDI Limited

10

TSR is measured over the three-year performance period
to 30 June 2025. 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:

The comparator group for the 2023 Grant is the companies,

excluding financial services companies, in the ASX 100 index

as at the start of the performance period on 1 July 2022.

EPS growth is measured over the three-year performance

period to 30 June 2025. 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

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 2025.

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

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 2023 Grant will be the three

years from 1 July 2022 to 30 June 2025 and the service period

will end on 30 June 2026.

Change of control

Under the 2023 LTIP, if there is a change in control of Downer

during the performance period, provided at least 12 months of

the 2023 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.

Notice of Annual General Meeting 2022 |11

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.

Board recommendation

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

interests of shareholders to approve the performance right-

based 2023 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 2023 Grant and the Managing

Director’s participation in the 2023 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 (LTI))

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 (LTI)) 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 (LTI)).

Item 5 Renewal of proportional takeover approval

provisions

Under the Corporations Act, a company may include provisions

in its constitution to enable it to refuse to register shares

acquired under a proportional takeover bid unless a resolution

approving the bid is passed by the shareholders.

Proportional takeover approval provisions are contained in rule

37 of the Company’s existing Constitution which was approved

by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting on 3 November

2010. However, rule 37 will be automatically omitted from

the Company’s Constitution on 7 November 2022, the third

anniversary of that provision’s most recent approval by the

shareholders on 7 November 2019.

Rule 37 of the existing Constitution includes provisions requiring

shareholder approval of a proportional takeover bid. If the

renewal of the proportional takeover approval provisions is

approved, these provisions will have effect for a further 3 years.

The Board considers it in the interests of shareholders to renew

these provisions in the Constitution.

Where the approval of shareholders is sought to insert or

renew proportional takeover provisions in a constitution, the

Corporations Act requires certain information to be included

in the notice of meeting. That information is set out below.

Proportional takeover bid

A proportional takeover bid is a takeover bid where the offer

made to each shareholder is only for a proportion of that

shareholder’s shares.

Effect of the provisions proposed to be re-inserted

If a proportional takeover bid is made, the Directors must ensure

that a resolution of shareholders to approve the takeover bid

is voted on, in general, more than 14 days before the last day

of the bid period. The vote is decided on a simple majority and

each person (other than the bidder and their associates) who,

as at the end of the day on which the first offer under the bid

was made, held bid class securities, is entitled to vote. If the

resolution is not passed, transfers giving effect to takeover

contracts for the bid will not be registered and the offer will

be taken to have been withdrawn. If the resolution is not voted

on, the bid will be taken to have been approved.

If the bid is approved (or taken to have been approved),

the transfers must be registered (provided they comply with

other provisions of the Corporations Act and the Constitution).

The proportional takeover approval provisions do not apply

to full takeover bids and will only apply until 3 years after the

date of re-adoption. The provisions may be renewed for a

further term, but only by a special resolution of shareholders.

Notice of Annual General Meeting 2022 |13

Reasons for the proposal
The Board considers that shareholders should have the

opportunity to re-adopt the proportional takeover approval

provisions. Without these provisions, a bidder might be able

to obtain control of the Company using a proportional takeover

bid without shareholders having the opportunity to sell all their

shares, potentially leaving existing shareholders locked into

a minority position in the Company.

The proportional takeover approval provisions give shareholders

the opportunity to decide whether a proportional takeover bid

should proceed. If it does proceed, individual shareholders can

make a separate decision as to whether they wish to accept the

proportional offer for their shares.

Knowledge of any acquisition proposals

As at the date of this notice of meeting, none of the Directors

is aware of any proposal by a person to acquire, or to increase

the extent of, a substantial interest in the Company.

Potential advantages and disadvantages

Potential advantages

The potential advantages for shareholders of the proportional

takeover provisions include:

§shareholders have the right to decide by majority vote whether

an offer under a proportional takeover bid should proceed;

§they may help shareholders to avoid being locked in as a

minority;

§they increase shareholders’ bargaining power and may assist

in ensuring that any proportional takeover bid is adequately

priced; and

§knowing the view of the majority of shareholders may help

each individual shareholder assess the likely outcome of

the proportional takeover bid and decide whether to accept

or reject an offer under the bid.

Potential disadvantages

It may be argued that the proportional takeover approval

provisions make a proportional takeover bid more difficult to

achieve which may have the effect of discouraging proportional

takeover bids. This in turn may potentially reduce opportunities

for shareholders to sell some of their shares at an attractive

price to persons seeking to secure control of the Company

and may reduce an element of takeover speculation from the

Company’s share price, although this effect may be negligible

as proportional takeover bids are less common today than they

have been in the past. It may also be argued that the provisions

constitute a potential restriction on the ability of shareholders

to deal freely with their shares.

Since the existing Constitution was adopted, there have been

no full or proportional takeover bids for the Company. Therefore,

there has been no example against which to assess the advantages

or disadvantages of the provisions for the Board and shareholders

respectively, however, the Board is not aware of any potential

takeover bid that was discouraged by these provisions.

The Board does not believe the potential disadvantages

outweigh the potential advantages of re-adopting the

proportional takeover approval provisions in the Constitution.

Re-adopting the proportional takeover approval provisions

in the Constitution will not confer any particular advantages

or disadvantages on the Directors in their capacity as Directors

of the Company. The Directors therefore consider that they

remain free to make a recommendation on whether an offer

under a proportional takeover bid should be accepted.

Board recommendation

The Directors unanimously recommend that shareholders

vote in favour of this resolution. The Chairman intends to

vote any undirected proxies held by him in favour of Item 5

(Renewal of proportional takeover approval provisions).

Item 6 Increase of Non-executive Director fee limit

In accordance with the Company’s constitution and ASX

Listing Rule 10.17, shareholders are being asked to approve

an increase in the maximum aggregate fees payable to Non-

executive Directors by $400,000 from $2,000,000 per annum

to $2,400,000 per annum with effect from and including the

financial year commenced on 1 July 2022. The Board has not

sought an increase in the aggregate Directors’ fees since 2008.

The Company has since grown significantly in size and the

scope of its services.

The increased amount takes account of analysis from

independent advisers on the current market remuneration

for Non-executive Directors, provides for an aggregate amount

which will allow for the potential appointment of additional

Directors and will assist the Company to retain and attract

Non-executive Directors.

The proposed increased limit of $2,400,000 is the total that

may be paid to all Non-executive Directors of the Company,

and is not the amount that could be paid to individual Directors.

The amount that is payable to individual Directors is determined

by reference to market rates and after consideration of a

number of factors including the time commitment of Directors,

the size and scale of the Company’s operations, the skill sets

of Board members, the quantum of fees paid to Non-executive

Directors of comparable companies, participation in committee

work and other factors.

Fees for Non-executive Directors are fixed and are not linked

to the financial performance of the Company in any way.

The Board believes this is necessary so that Board members

maintain their independence. In addition, Non-executive

Directors do not receive any bonus payment nor participate

in any share or incentive plan operated for executives of

the Company.

For details of the amount of Directors’ fees paid for the year

ended 30 June 2022, please refer to the 2022 Annual Report.

Board recommendation
The Directors do not make any recommendation in respect

of this resolution given the personal interest of the Non-

executive Directors in the resolution. As noted in the proxy

form, the Chairman intends to vote undirected proxies in

favour of this resolution.

Voting exclusions

The Company will disregard any votes cast in favour of Item 6

by or on behalf of:

§any Director of Downer; or

§associates of any Director of Downer.

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.
