Notice of
Special

Meeting


2023

Gentrack Group Limited

Dear Shareholder
I invite you to the special meeting

of Gentrack Group Limited

(“Gentrack”) which will be held

virtually via an online platform

provided by Gentrack’s share

registrar, Link Market Services at:

www.virtualmeeting.co.nz/gtksm23

on Tuesday, 10 October 2023 at

10am (NZT) (“Special Meeting”).

As with our last annual shareholder

meeting, we have taken the decision

to conduct a virtual only meeting and

this is considered appropriate given

this meeting is a special shareholder

meeting which is to consider a single

item of business. We are convening

the Special Meeting to ensure that

long term incentive arrangements are

in place close to the start of the FY24

financial year.

Message

from the

Chair

2

Background
Gentrack currently operates a senior

management long term incentive

scheme (“Senior Management LTI”)

under which each participating

employee (including our CEO, Gary

Miles) is offered “performance

rights”, with each performance right

representing a right to receive one

ordinary share in Gentrack once

the applicable vesting conditions

have been satisfied. The Senior

Management LTI is governed by a

set of rules and offers are made to

participants on specific terms from

time to time. In 2021, shareholders

approved the issue of three tranches

of performance rights to Gary and

the final tranche was granted in

October 2022.

The board is now proposing to issue

further performance rights to Gary

along with a grant to other members

of the senior management team. The

board intends to align the terms for

those awards, including:

• using both an earnings per share

(“EPS”) performance hurdle

and a share price appreciation

performance hurdle (as well

as a continued employment

requirement); and

• participants must retain at least

50% of shares that have been issued

to them on vesting for a period of

12 months.

The Gentrack share price would

need to increase significantly

from the current market price and

reach NZ$10.00 for the share price

appreciation hurdle to be satisfied for

all of the performance rights.

3

In order

to provide

participants

in the proposed

offer of performance

rights with confidence of

the performance rights they will

receive over the next three years, it

is proposed that the performance

rights for the financial years ending

30 September 2024, 2025 and 2026

are awarded to the initial recipients

selected by the board in one tranche

rather than on an annual basis.

However, vesting of the performance

rights will be measured annually

in each of those financial years

according to the vesting conditions

described in the Explanatory Notes in

this Notice of Meeting. There will be

a cap on the number of performance

rights which can vest on the first

vesting date.

For financial years after the year

ending 30 September 2026, the

board’s current intention is to reissue

a rights scheme at the appropriate

time as is the usual practise to ensure

continuity and talent retention.

Shareholder approval required
NZX Listing Rule 4.6 contemplates

issues of equity securities (such as

performance rights) to employees and

executive directors and provides an

overall 3% annual limit. The proposed

issue of performance rights would in

aggregate exceed the 3% annual limit

set under NZX Listing Rule 4.6.

As a result, Gentrack will hold the

Special Meeting to seek the approval

by ordinary resolution of shareholders

to the proposed issue of performance

rights to Gary and other members of

the senior management team on the

terms and conditions described in

the Explanatory Notes to this Notice

of Meeting.

Shareholders attending and

participating at the Special Meeting

will be able to ask questions during

the Special Meeting.

Recommendations

As described in the Explanatory Notes

to this Notice of Meeting, the board’s

view is that the terms and conditions

applicable to the proposed award

of performance rights to the CEO

and other selected members of the

senior management team will drive

exceptional business performance over

the upcoming three financial years.

The removal of a tenure only

component and the introduction

of both a share price appreciation

performance hurdle and an EPS

performance hurdle means vesting of

all of the performance rights proposed

to be issued is directly linked to share

price increases, aligning management

reward with shareholder value, and

ensuring commitment to the growth

targets set by the board and our

current earnings guidance. It is on

this basis that the board recommends

shareholders vote in favour of the

resolution to approve the issue of

performance rights.

I encourage you to attend virtually

or appoint a proxy to attend virtually

and vote on the resolution on your

behalf. Proxy appointments must

be completed before 10am (NZT)

on Sunday, 8 October 2023. Further

details on how to attend the Special

Meeting virtually or appoint a proxy

are set out in the Procedural Notes

and Important Information in this

Notice of Meeting.

On behalf of the board, thank you for

your ongoing support of Gentrack.

We welcome your consideration

of, and participation in, the Special

Meeting on Tuesday, 10 October 2023.

Yours sincerely

Andy Green, CBE

Chair

Andy Green, CBE

Chair

22 September 2023

Background
Gentrack currently operates a senior

management long term incentive

scheme under which each

participating employee is offered

“performance rights”, with each

performance right representing a

right to receive one ordinary share

in Gentrack when the applicable

vesting conditions are satisfied. The

vesting conditions are set when the

performance rights are granted.

Shareholders approved the issue of

performance rights to the managing

director and CEO of Gentrack (Gary

Miles) at the 2021 annual meeting of

shareholders. Those performance rights

were to be issued in three tranches and

the final tranche was issued to Gary in

October 2022.

On 30 September 2022 the Gentrack

board resolved to change the basis of

performance hurdles for Gentrack’s

long term incentive plan for senior

executives from a compound annual

growth rate (“CAGR”) of Gentrack’s

earnings per share (“EPS”) basis to

a share price appreciation basis.

This change was made in respect of

Gary’s performance rights following

shareholder approval at the 2023 annual

shareholders meeting. The reasons for

the change included that in the board’s

view a share price appreciation basis

better aligns with Gentrack’s strategic

investment strategy, provides clearer

performance targets, and is directly

linked to shareholder value.

Explanatory Notes

Proposed issue of performance

rights

The board has considered the long

term incentive arrangements for Gary

and other members of the senior

management team with a view to

putting in place arrangements for the

next three financial years.

Subject to shareholder approval, the

board proposes to issue in aggregate

up to 9,437,000 performance rights

to Gary and other members of the

senior management team selected by

the board in respect of the financial

years ending 30 September 2024,

30 September 2025 and 30 September

2026. These performance rights will be

issued to the initial recipients selected

by the board in one tranche, rather

than on an annual basis, and this is

expected to occur a short period after

the results of the shareholder vote

are known (assuming the resolution

is passed). However, vesting of the

performance rights will be measured

annually in each of those financial

years according to the vesting

conditions described below.

NZX Listing Rule 4.6 contemplates

issues of equity securities (such as

performance rights) to employees and

executive directors and provides an

overall 3% annual limit. The proposed

issue of performance rights would in

aggregate exceed the 3% annual limit

set under NZX Listing Rule 4.6.

6

Mr Miles currently has a relevant
interest in 887,468 issued shares in

Gentrack. He has also been issued

with 943,528 unvested performance

rights as at the date of this document.

If all of those existing performance

rights, together with all of the

performance rights proposed by the

shareholder resolution were to vest,

Mr Miles would hold 4,284,996 shares,

representing approximately 3.73% of

Gentrack shares expected to be on

issue at that time. This assumes that

all performance rights vest (including

those held by persons other than

Mr Miles) and that Mr Miles does not

buy or sell any additional shares and

that Gentrack does not issue any

other shares.

A description of the key terms of the

performance rights is set out below

and worked examples follow at the

end of this section.

Key terms

The key terms of the proposed

issue of performance rights are

set out below:

• each performance right represents

a right to receive one Gentrack

ordinary share, subject to

satisfaction of vesting conditions

including performance hurdles

(where applicable). Each ordinary

share issued on vesting of

performance rights will rank

equally with all other ordinary

shares in Gentrack;

• no consideration is payable to

receive a performance right or

a share on vesting of a

performance right;

• Gentrack will issue up to 9,437,000

performance rights, to be issued

as soon as practicable after

the Special Meeting (subject to

shareholder approval), divided

as follows:

• 2,454,000 performance rights

will be issued to the CEO,

Gary Miles; and

• up to 6,983,000 performance

rights will be issued to other

members of Gentrack’s senior

management team (this is

expected to comprise up to 11

individuals initially with some

allowance for these performance

rights to be issued in the future

should a new senior executive

join Gentrack and be selected

by the board to receive

performance rights);

• the board does not intend to issue

further performance rights to the

initial recipients with respect to the

financial years ending 30 September

2024, 30 September 2025 and

30 September 2026;

• performance rights that lapse prior

to vesting may be re-allocated

to new members of the senior

management team (for example,

to fill new roles within the senior

management team);

7

• the allocation of performance
rights to each participant is

determined by the board based on

an assessment of factors relating

to the participant’s contribution

to Gentrack (for example, length of

employment and seniority of his or

her role);

• there are three potential vesting

dates on which the performance

rights may vest, depending on

whether applicable performance

hurdles have been met. The potential

vesting dates will be shortly after

the release of Gentrack’s audited

financial statements for the

financial years ending 30 September

2024, 30 September 2025 and

30 September 2026;

• the performance hurdles required

to be met at each vesting date are

an EPS hurdle for the respective

financial year immediately prior

to the vesting date, a share price

appreciation hurdle and continued

employment with Gentrack (subject

to limited exceptional circumstances

approved by the board);

• the EPS hurdle must be met for

any performance rights to vest at

the relevant vesting date (if that

does not occur, it will not matter

that the share price appreciation

hurdle has been met). The EPS

hurdle is a defined number for each

of the financial years ending

30 September 2024, 30 September

2025 and 30 September 2026 and

is based on satisfying current

earnings guidance.

The EPS hurdles for the respective

financial years are as set out below:

• NZ$0.16 in respect of the financial

year ending 30 September 2024;

• NZ$0.19 in respect of the

financial year ending

30 September 2025; and

• NZ$0.22 in respect of the

financial year ending

30 September 2026.

For these purposes EPS is that

reported in Gentrack’s audited

financial statements for the

relevant financial year with

adjustments made to Net Profit

After Tax to reflect:

• expensing amounts capitalised

in the year (if any) in respect of

research and development;

• adding back any amortisation of

intangible assets;

• adding back the (non-cash)

accounting charge for share-

based payments; and

• adjusting for the tax or deferred

tax impact on the items set

out above.

Where shares have been

issued following vesting of the

performance rights issued in this

tranche, or vesting is expected

in respect of those performance

rights, those shares are also

excluded from the calculation of

EPS in respect of this hurdle.


8

The board also retains discretion
to make adjustments to reflect

accounting policy changes or

extraordinary circumstances with a

significant impact (e.g. impairments,

revaluations, restructuring

activities) or in the event of a

corporate acquisition or disposal

by Gentrack;

• provided that the EPS hurdle is

satisfied at the relevant vesting

date, the share price appreciation

hurdle determines how many (if any)

performance rights will vest at the

relevant vesting date and in respect

of the second and third vesting

dates (if applicable), this takes into

account any performance rights

that have vested at the preceding

vesting date(s).

The share price used to assess

the share price appreciation

hurdle is to be calculated as the

volume weighted average price of

Gentrack’s shares as quoted on

the NZX Main Board and the ASX

(including both on-market and

off-market trades) over the ten

trading days immediately following

the release of Gentrack’s audited

financial statements for the

financial year immediately prior to

the relevant vesting date (“VWAP

share price”).

If the board decides to commence

dividend payments or pay a special

dividend, then when measuring the

share price appreciation hurdle,

the gross amount of any dividend

will be added to the VWAP share

price (references to the VWAP share

price below will incorporate this

adjustment as applicable).

The number of performance rights

which vest will depend upon

the extent of VWAP share price

appreciation (subject to the EPS

hurdle having been satisfied). The

share price appreciation hurdle will

not be satisfied with respect to

a vesting date if the VWAP share

price on that vesting date is less

than NZ$5.00. The share price

appreciation hurdle is satisfied for

all unvested performance rights on

a vesting date if the VWAP share

price calculated for purposes of

that vesting date is more than

NZ$10.00.

9

An incremental vesting scale applies
should the VWAP share price used to

assess the share price appreciation

hurdle be between NZ$5.00 and

NZ$10.00 with respect to a vesting

date as shown in the table on page

11. The table sets out the cumulative

number of performance rights that

can vest at each VWAP share price

level across all vesting dates.

Irrespective of the VWAP share price

on the first vesting date, no more

than 3,565,000 performance rights

may vest on the first vesting date.

When assessing how many (if any)

performance rights will vest at the

VWAP share price on the second and

third vesting dates, any performance

rights that have vested on a previous

vesting date would be deducted

from the number of performance

rights to vest on that vesting date in

accordance with the table on page 11.

Refer to the worked examples on

pages 13-15 for a description of how

the share price appreciation hurdle

would work in practice.

• in addition to the EPS and share
price appreciation performance

hurdles, the participant must

be in continued employment

with Gentrack in order for any

performance rights to vest on a

potential vesting date (subject to

limited exceptional circumstances

approved by the board);

• if the performance hurdles are not

satisfied on a vesting date, they

may be “re-tested” at the next

vesting date (at the applicable

performance hurdle thresholds,

described above) meaning the

opportunity for performance rights

to vest is not forfeited merely

because the performance hurdles

are not satisfied on a single

vesting date;

• in the event of a takeover or

scheme of arrangement, the EPS

performance hurdle will not apply

and the share price appreciation

performance hurdle would be

measured based on a share price

offered to Gentrack shareholders

under the takeover or scheme of

arrangement; and

• except to the extent that additional

shares are required to be sold to

satisfy a participant’s tax liability,

participants must retain at least

50% of the Gentrack shares issued

to them for 12 months following the

relevant vesting date.

The performance rights will also be

issued subject to the rules of the

Senior Management LTI (“Scheme

Rules”). A summary of some of the key

provisions of the Scheme Rules is set

out below:

• performance rights do not entitle

the holder to vote at a shareholder

meeting or participate in dividends

or other distributions paid by

Gentrack;

• performance rights may only be

transferred in limited circumstances

(such as with the approval of

the board, upon death of the

holder or upon re-allocation to

another participant in the Senior

Management LTI);

• performance rights held by a

participant will lapse if the person

ceases to be an employee of the

Gentrack group, unless the board

determines that the person ceases

employment as a result of an

“Involuntary Event” (in which case

a participant will be entitled to

retain a pro rata portion of their

performance rights based on the

portion of time which has expired

prior to the vesting date when they

cease to be an employee);

• the board may forfeit the

performance rights held by a

participant where the board

decides that the participant has

acted fraudulently or dishonestly

or wilfully breached his or her duties

to Gentrack;

12

• in the event of any reorganisation of
the share capital of Gentrack or any

significant or special distribution to

shareholders (excluding any interim

or final cash dividend generally

consistent with past practice),

the board will revise the number

of performance rights held by

each participant to ensure a fair

treatment as between participants

and shareholders; and

• the board may amend the rules

of the Senior Management LTI

(including with retrospective effect)

provided that, except in limited

circumstances, the consent of a

participant must be obtained if the

amendment materially reduces the

rights of that participant in respect

of their existing performance rights.

13

Worked examples

The worked examples set out in the

table across pages 14-15 assume: (a)

all participants remain employed by

Gentrack on each of the potential

vesting dates; and (b) all performance

rights set out in the table on page 11

are on issue (refer to the vesting scale

set out in the table on page 11).

For purposes of the worked examples:

• “Vesting Date 1” means the first

vesting date of the performance

rights, being a date shortly after

the release of Gentrack’s audited

financial statements for the

financial year ending

30 September 2024;

• “Vesting Date 2” means the second

vesting date of the performance

rights, being a date shortly after

the release of Gentrack’s audited

financial statements for the

financial year ending

30 September 2025; and

• “Vesting Date 3” means the

third and final vesting date of

the performance rights, being a

date shortly after the release

of Gentrack’s audited financial

statements for the financial year

ending 30 September 2026.

• On Vesting Date 1, 2,726,000

performance rights vest given

the EPS hurdle is satisfied and

the VWAP share price is between

NZ$6.00 and NZ$6.49.

• No performance rights vest on

Vesting Date 2 because the VWAP

share price has declined since

Vesting Date 1 and the number

of performance rights to vest in

accordance with the vesting scale

(i.e. 1,887,000) is less than the

number of performance rights that

have already vested on Vesting

Date 1.

• On Vesting Date 3, 839,000

performance rights vest (being

3,565,000 performance rights

less 2,726,000 performance rights

that have already vested) because

the EPS hurdle is satisfied and

the VWAP share price is between

NZ$6.50 and NZ$6.99.

Dilution
If all of the performance rights were to

vest, this would result in the issue of

9,437,000 shares (representing 9.28%

of the current issued share capital

of Gentrack). It is important to note

however that the proposed grant

comprises all of the performance

rights intended to be issued under the

Senior Management LTI for the three

financial years ending 30 September

2024, 30 September 2025 and 30

September 2026. In the past, grants

of performance rights have generally

been made by the board each year.

Any existing unvested performance

rights already granted under the

Senior Management LTI and the other

Gentrack long term incentive scheme

known as the Gentrack Talent LTI,

including with respect to the current

financial year ending 30 September

2023, will remain on issue. It is

expected that 1,677,116 performance

rights already on issue under these

LTI schemes will vest during the

financial year ending 30 September

2024 (representing a further 1.65%

of the current issued share capital

of Gentrack). 1,922,308 performance

rights would remain unvested after

that vesting.

Rationale

The board considers that an initial

grant of performance rights to

cover the next three financial years

will incentivise the CEO and other

members of senior management

to drive exceptional business

performance that significantly

outperforms market benchmarks.

The vesting of

performance

rights is dependent upon

VWAP share price increases (subject to

also satisfying the EPS performance

hurdle and continued employment

with Gentrack at the relevant vesting

date), having the effect of aligning

management reward with shareholder

value. None of the performance rights

issued under the proposed grant vest

on the basis of tenure only, which is a

change the board has made in respect

of this grant of performance rights.

The board’s view is that requiring the

CEO and senior executives to retain

more than 50% of the shares issued

to them following any vesting of the

performance rights granted to them

in respect of the next three financial

years focuses the senior management

team on delivering a sustainable

increase in VWAP share price and

supports retention in the financial

years subsequent to the year ending

30 September 2026.

The issue of performance rights

will not proceed as proposed if

the resolution is not passed by

shareholders because the proposal

requires shareholder approval

under the NZX Listing Rules. If

the resolution is not passed, the

board would consider the feedback

from shareholders and alternative

arrangements. Any decision would be

subject to compliance with applicable

NZX Listing Rules.

The board recommends that

shareholders vote in favour of the

resolution.

individuals or any of their ‘Associated

Persons’. However, Gentrack will not

disregard a vote if it is cast by such

person as a proxy for a person who

is not disqualified from voting on the

resolution, in accordance with express

instructions to vote for or against

the resolution.

If a person is disqualified from voting

(as outlined above), but is appointed

as a discretionary proxy, that

person will be ineligible to vote on

motions from the floor (if any), as the

discretionary proxy will not be valid.

Proxies
Any shareholder entitled to attend and

vote at the virtual Special Meeting can

appoint a “proxy” to attend and vote

virtually on their behalf. A proxy need

not be a shareholder.

If you appoint a proxy, you can either

direct your proxy how to vote or

let them decide on the day on your

behalf. If you do not direct your

proxy how to vote (i.e., for, against

or discretionary) for a particular

resolution, then your proxy will abstain

from voting on the resolution.

The chair of the Special Meeting is

willing to act as a proxy. “Chair of

the Meeting” should be inserted as

the name of your proxy on the space

provided on the enclosed proxy form

if you wish the chair to act. The chair

will vote in favour of the resolution if

appointed as a discretionary proxy.

You may complete your proxy

appointment either online or by

completing and returning the

enclosed proxy form.

PROXY FORM FOR GENTRACK GROUP LIMITED SPECIAL MEETING

Notice is hereby given that a Special Meeting of shareholders of Gentrack Group Limited (“Gentrack”) will be held online via the Link Market Services

Meetings Platform at www.virtualmeeting.co.nz/gtksm23 at 10.00am (New Zealand time) on Tuesday, 10 October 2023. To attend the online Special

Meeting, you will need your Holder Number for verification purposes.

The Special Meeting will be held virtually. As with our last annual shareholder meeting, we have taken the decision to conduct a virtual only meeting and

this is considered appropriate given this meeting is a special shareholder meeting which is to consider a single item of business.

If you propose not to attend the Special Meeting and want to appoint a proxy you can appoint your proxy and vote on the resolution on the reverse of this

form online by going to vote.linkmarketservices.com/GTK or by scanning the QR code above with your smartphone.

Appointment of proxy

Any shareholder entitled to attend and vote at the Special Meeting can appoint a “proxy” to attend and vote. A proxy does not have to be a shareholder.

If you appoint a proxy, you can either direct your proxy how to vote or let them decide on the day on your behalf. If you do not tick a box for the resolution,

then your proxy will abstain from voting. For this Proxy Form to be valid, you must produce it by delivering, posting, or emailing it intact to be received by

Link Market Services Limited no later than 10.00am, Sunday, 8 October 2023.


Voting of your holding

If you tick the ‘Discretion’ box, you are directing your proxy to decide how to vote on the resolution on your behalf. If you tick the ‘Abstain’ box, you are

directing your proxy not to vote on the resolution. If a proxy does not vote on your behalf on the resolution, your vote will not be counted when calculating

the majority of that resolution.


Appointing the Chair of the Meeting as your proxy

The Chair of the Special Meeting is willing to act as a proxy. “Chair of the Meeting” should be inserted as the name of your proxy on the space provided

on this proxy form if you wish the Chair to act. The Chair intends to vote discretionary proxies in favour of the resolution. If you return this form without

appointing a proxy but have indicated on this form how you wish to vote, the Chair of the meeting will vote in accordance with your express instructions.

Voting restrictions

Gary Miles and each of the other members of the senior management team expected by the board to receive performance rights as a result of the

resolution who are shareholders of Gentrack (and each of their ‘Associated Persons’ (as that term is defined in the NZX Listing Rules)) are subject to

voting restrictions in relation to the resolution to be considered at the Special Meeting.

Gentrack will disregard any votes cast on the resolution by Gary and those individuals or any of their ‘Associated Persons’. However, Gentrack will not

disregard a vote if it is cast by such person as a proxy for a person who is not disqualified from voting on the resolution, in accordance with express

instructions to vote for or against the resolution.

Attending the meeting

The Special Meeting will be held online only and shareholders can attend at www.virtualmeeting.co.nz/gtksm23. You will need your Holder Number for

verification purposes.

A corporation may appoint a person to attend and vote virtually on the day of the Special Meeting as its representative in the same manner as that in

which it could appoint a proxy. That person need not also be a shareholder.
