virtualmeetingguide.

Shareholders are also able to ask questions verbally via

telephone on the number that will be available on the

online platform.

Technical difficulties

Technical difficulties may arise during the course of the AGM.

The Chairman has discretion as to whether and how the AGM

should proceed in the event that a technical difficulty arises.

In exercising this discretion, the Chairman will have regard to

the number of Shareholders impacted and the extent to which

participation in the business of the AGM is affected.

Where the Chairman considers it appropriate, the Chairman

may continue to hold the AGM and transact business, including

conducting a poll and voting in accordance with valid proxy

instructions. For this reason, Shareholders are encouraged to

lodge a direct vote or appoint a proxy by 10:00am (AEST) on

Tuesday, 21 May 2024 even if they plan to attend through the

virtual platform.

Entitlement to vote

Shareholders are eligible to participate and vote at the

AGM if they are registered holders of the Company’s Shares

at 7:00pm (AEST) on Tuesday, 21 May 2024, subject to the

voting restrictions described in this Notice of Meeting and

Explanatory Statement.

Direct voting – prior to the AGM

Shareholders are entitled to vote directly by marking Section A

“Vote Directly” on the Voting Form that accompanies this Notice

of Meeting. Shareholders will then not need to appoint a proxy

to act on its behalf.

A direct vote will take priority over the appointment of a proxy.

For a valid direct vote to be recorded Shareholders must mark

‘For’, ‘Against’, or ‘Abstain’ on each Resolution. Where a direct

vote has been validly submitted in advance of the AGM, the

Shareholder’s attendance or participation in the AGM cancels

the direct vote, unless the Shareholder instructs the Company

or, at its instruction, the Share Registry otherwise.

Notes

3Ventia Notice of Annual General Meeting 2024
Voting by Proxy

A Shareholder is entitled to appoint a proxy to attend and vote

on their behalf. To do so, Shareholders should mark Section B

“Appoint a Proxy” on the Voting Form to appoint the Chairman

of the AGM as its proxy or insert the name of its alternative

proxy in the space provided.

The following applies in terms of proxy appointments:

• a proxy need not be a Shareholder, and may be an individual

or a body corporate;

• a Shareholder entitled to cast two or more votes may appoint

two proxies; and

• where two proxies are appointed, each proxy may be

appointed to represent a specified proportion of the

Shareholder’s voting rights. If a Shareholder appoints two

proxies and the appointment does not specify the proportion

or number of the votes each proxy may exercise, each proxy

may exercise half of that Shareholder’s votes.

Chairman’s Voting Intentions

The Chairman intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of

the Resolutions set out in this Notice of Meeting.

If a Shareholder appoints the Chairman as their proxy, expressly

or by default, and they do not direct the Chairman how to vote

on a Resolution, by completing and returning the Voting Form,

they will be expressly authorising the Chairman to exercise the

proxy and vote as the Chairman sees fit on a Resolution, even

if the Resolution is connected directly or indirectly with the

remuneration of a member of the KMP of the Company.

Corporate Representatives

A body corporate that is a Shareholder, or that has been

appointed as a proxy, must appoint an individual to act as its

representative at the AGM. The appointment must comply with

the requirements of section 250D of the Corporations Act. The

representative should provide satisfactory evidence of their

appointment prior to the commencement of the AGM, including

any authority under which it is signed, unless it has been given

previously to the Company.

5Ventia Notice of Annual General Meeting 2024
The purpose of this Explanatory Statement (which is included in and forms part of the Notice of

Meeting) is to provide Shareholders with an explanation of the items of business of the AGM as well

as to assist Shareholders to determine how they wish to vote on each Resolution.

Agenda Item 1: 2023 Annual Report

Ventia’s 2023 Annual Report, which includes the 2023

Financial Report, the 2023 Directors’ Report and the 2023

External Auditor’s Report was lodged with the ASX and NZX

on 21 February 2024 and is available at ventia.com/investor-

centre/announcements.

Printed copies of the 2023 Annual Report have been mailed to

those Shareholders who have elected to receive a printed copy.

At the AGM, a reasonable opportunity will be given to

Shareholders, as a whole, to ask questions about, and make

will also participate in the AGM to answer questions in relation

to the conduct of the audit (including the independence of

the External Auditor), the preparation and content of the 2023

Auditor’s Report and the accounting policies adopted by Ventia.

Agenda Item 2: Adoption of

2023 Remuneration Report

Listed companies, such as Ventia, are required to provide

detailed disclosures of non-executive director and executive

KMP remuneration in their directors’ reports. These disclosures

are set out in the 2023 Remuneration Report (which forms part

of the 2023 Directors’ Report).

The Board strives to ensure that Ventia’s remuneration

framework aligns with Shareholder interests by:

• ensuring remuneration is performance driven with a focus

on setting challenging targets for both financial and non-

financial measures;

• placing substantial emphasis on variable (‘at risk’ incentive

based) remuneration linked to short and long-term

performance benchmarks that support Ventia’s corporate

strategy and future success; and

• implementing share-based remuneration on a short and

long-term basis.

There will be a reasonable opportunity for Shareholders

to comment on, and ask questions about, the 2023

Remuneration Report.

The vote on Agenda item 2 is advisory only and will not bind

the Directors or the Company. However, the Board will take

the outcome of the vote into consideration when reviewing

the Company’s remuneration practices and policies.

For the voting exclusions applicable to Agenda Item 2,

please refer to page 3 of this Notice of Meeting.

What is the Board’s recommendation?

The Board unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in

favour of Agenda Item 2.

experience represented on the Board and considers whether

there are any issues that should be addressed through Board

renewal and succession. As part of this process, the Board

has reviewed the performance of each Director standing for

election and has considered the contribution made to the

Board and its committees by, and the skills and expertise of

those Directors. For these reasons, and those outlined in each

of the Directors’ profiles below, the Board recommends the

election of each of the following Directors.

Agenda Item 3a: Election of Lynne Saint

The Board, with Mr. Rees abstaining, unanimously recommends

Agenda Item 4: Issue of Securities

to the Managing Director and Group

Chief Executive Officer under Ventia’s

Long-term Incentive Plan

Background

The Board considers that its executives should be remunerated

in a manner that encourages them to become Shareholders

as this is the best mechanism to align their interests with

those of Ventia’s Shareholders. It is the Company’s policy

that the performance-based (that is, at risk) pay of executives

represents a significant component of their total remuneration.

Granting incentives under a long-term incentive plan seeks to

encourage and reward long-term sustainable performance.

Ventia has developed a fit-for-purpose LTI that is strongly

aligned with the delivery of Ventia’s strategy of redefining

service excellence. The LTI is considered to promote long-term

shareholder value creation as follows:

1. delivery via Share Appreciation Rights (SARs) and Dividend

Equivalent Rights (DERs) promotes strong focus on

shareholder alignment by only rewarding for share price

growth and dividends (to the extent the SARs and DERs vest

and there has been share price growth);

2. performance in the year prior to the LTI being granted

(which will over time build to a three-year rolling average)

will moderate the actual LTI value to be awarded to LTI

participants, thereby ensuring that the awards granted are

not excessive and are set in the context of the Company’s

overall performance;

3. a fixed and transparent allocation value of 35% of Ventia’s

VWAP will apply to determine the number of SARs actually

granted each year, minimising fluctuations that might

otherwise occur if a more variable annual Black-Scholes

allocation value were to apply. In setting the allocation

value, the Board considered a formal fair value approach

and the 35% allocation basis selected. The 35% allocation

basis results in a lower number of SARs being granted to

LTI participants;

EXPL ANATORY STATEMENT

7Ventia Notice of Annual General Meeting 2024
4. A threshold level of 15% return on equity (ROE) performance

must be met before any vesting can occur to ensure long-term

financial sustainability objectives are met; and

5. progressive time vesting over four years provides LTI

participants with ‘skin in the game’, with additional sale

restrictions promoting long-term value creation and

talent retention.

The Company is proposing to issue SARs and DERs to the

Managing Director and Group Chief Executive Officer, Dean Banks,

(Group CEO) under Ventia’s Long Term Incentive Plan (Plan).

performance assessed against the Board approved FY24 LTI scorecard and performance measures.

date, based on the difference in share price across the applicable vesting period.

The Group CEO will also receive DERs which provide a right to be allocated a number of fully paid

ordinary shares in Ventia at a future date equivalent to the value of any dividends that the Group CEO

would have received on SARs as if those SARs had been Shares since the grant date of the SARs. DERs

only vest to the extent that there has been share price growth over the vesting periods. The Board has

discretion to settle the SARs or DERs in cash in lieu of Shares.

SARs and DERs will be granted at no cost to the Group CEO and no amount is payable on vesting of the

SARs and DERs.

Allocation methodologyThe number of SARs granted will be determined based on a set market valuation, being 35% of Ventia’s

Allocation Price.

Allocation priceBased on the Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) of Shares for the 10 trading days immedi-ately after

the release of Ventia’s annual financial statements for FY24.

Performance periodPerformance affecting grant: FY2024

Performance measuresPerformance affecting grant

• Work in hand (33.33%)

• Pro-forma cash flow conversion rate (33.33%)

• Earnings per share (EPS) compound annual growth rate (CAGR) (33.33%).

Performance affecting vesting

• In addition to share price performance, longer-term performance will be assessed against ROE

threshold performance measure of 15% (i.e. subject to a minimum level of acceptable performance).

Performance Measure

Explained – Work in Hand

Work in hand is defined as comprising i) the future revenue from contracted projects with agreed

volumes and scope, and ii) an estimate of future revenue that is likely to be generated from con-tracted

projects where the project scope and volumes are variable.

Due to the commercial sensitivity, details of this performance measure and the extent to which the

targets have been achieved are disclosed in the Company’s Remuneration Report at the com-pletion of

each performance period.

Te r mDescription

Performance Measure

Explained – Pro forma

cash conversion

Pro forma cash conversion ratio will be measured by pro forma operating cash flow divided by pro forma

EBITDA for FY22, FY23 and FY24 combined.

Under the Plan for FY24, the Board has set cash flow conversion as follows:

WeightingThreshold (50%)Target (75%)Stretch (100%)

33%85%92.5%100%

Performance Measure

Explained – EPS Growth

CAGR

EPS Growth CAGR is measured by comparing Ventia’s compound annual EPS growth rate over a rolling

three-year period against a range approved by the Board at the beginning of the performance period.

Under the Plan for FY24, the Board has set the EPS CAGR as follows:

WeightingThreshold (50%)Target (75%)Stretch (100%)

33%5%7. 5%10%

Vesting periodsAfter the one-year performance period affecting grant, SARs vest in three equal tranches after a further

two, three and four years, subject to threshold ROE performance. Including the annual performance

period affecting grant, nothing is available to vest until after a minimum of three years.

Vesting Date PriceBased on a 10-day VWAP of Shares immediately after the release of Ventia’s annual financial statements

following the relevant vesting date.

Vesting and number of

shares to be allocated

When SARs vest, the Group CEO will be awarded with a number of Shares calculated by reference to the

increase in the Share price from the Allocation Price to the Vesting Date Price. If there has been Share

price growth over the relevant vesting period, DERs will also vest and additional Shares will be allocated

to the Group CEO based on the value of dividends that would have been payable on the vested SARs as

if they were Shares held from the original grant date (Dividend Value). The number of additional Shares

will be calculated as the Dividend Value divided by the Vesting Date Price (rounded up to the nearest

whole number).

Sale restrictionAny Shares allocated on vesting of the SARs will not be tradable until after Ventia releases its annual

results for the twelve months following the end of the relevant vesting periods.

Why approval is being sought?

Under Listing Rule 10.14, Shareholder approval is required for the issue of securities to any Director under an employee incentive

scheme. The Company is seeking Shareholder approval for the proposed grant of SARs and DERs to the Group CEO under the Plan.

The Company intends to source the Shares allocated on vesting of any SARs and DERs through on-market purchases for which

approval is not required under Listing Rule 10.14. Nevertheless, the Board intends to seek approval in the interests of transparency

and good governance, and also to preserve flexibility for the Company to issue shares in the event that it is not in the Company’s

best interests to purchase shares on market at the relevant times in the future.

The Group CEO is the only Director entitled to participate under the Plan.

If Agenda Item 4 is not approved by Shareholders, the Board will consider alternative arrangements to appropriately remunerate

and incentivise the Group CEO.

Mr Banks is not permitted to use shares or rights to shares for margin lending.

ClawbackThe Board may lapse SARs or DERs, or require Shares (or cash paid in lieu of Shares) to be forfeited in

certain circumstances, including where in the opinion of the Board:

• he has acted fraudulently, dishonestly or engaged in serious misconduct;

• he breached his duties, responsibilities or obligations to the Company; or

• there occurs any other circumstance, which the Board has determined in good faith provides grounds

for the Board to exercise its discretion for the treatment of Mr. Banks’ grant

Change of controlWhere there is a change of control event, the Board may waive any vesting conditions and/or deter-mine

Cessation of employmentThe treatment of LTI grants on ceasing employment will depend on the circumstances of cessation.

Unvested Awards

• Good leaver: Unless the Board determines otherwise, LTI grants will remain on foot, subject to

achievement of performance-related vesting conditions.

• Bad leaver: Unless the Board determines otherwise, all LTI grants will lapse.

Vested Awards

• Participants will continue to hold shares that have been awarded.

Effect of approval

Number of Share Appreciation Rights

The maximum number of SARs to be issued to the Group CEO will be determined by applying the following formula:

FORMULA: MAX = 100% TFR being $1,400,000/ (35% of Allocation Price being 10 Day VWAP post release of FY24 annual results)

EXAMPLE: (using estimated $4 Allocation Price): Max number of SARs = $1,400,000/ ($4 x 35%) = 1,000,000.

An equivalent number of DERs will also be granted to the Group CEO.

Under the Plan Rules, the Board has discretion to reduce the number of awards allocated.

Timing of issue

If Shareholder approval is obtained, it is intended that the SARs and DERs will be allocated to the Group CEO shortly after the

release of the annual financial results for FY24.

Ventia uses SARs and DERs for the Plan because they create

alignment between executives and Shareholders and are

subject to forfeiture. They may be lapsed or reduced depending

upon achievement against an external performance condition

and/or by the Board’s review of performance against a suite of

underpinning conditions.

In addition, executives do not receive any benefit unless and

until the SARs and DERs vest.

Details of any securities issued under the Plan will be published

in the Company’s Appendix 3G and Annual Report relating to

the period in which they were issued, along with a statement

that approval for the issue was obtained under Listing Rule

10.14. Any additional persons covered by Listing Rule 10.14

who become entitled to participate in an issue of securities

under the Plan after this resolution is approved, and who were

not named in the Notice of Meeting, will not participate until

approval is obtained under that rule.

Previous Issue of securities

The Group CEO has previously been granted 2,057,766 SARS

and 2,057,766 DERs under the Plan at no cost.

Directors' Recommendation

The Board, with Mr. Banks abstaining, recommends that

Shareholders vote IN FAVOUR of Agenda Item 4.

A voting exclusion statement with regard to Agenda Item 4

is set out on page 4 of the Notice of Meeting.

Agenda Item 6: Renewal of

proportional takeover provisions

Background

Ventia’s Constitution contains provisions which prohibit the

registration of transfers of shares acquired under a proportional

takeover bid unless a resolution is passed by the shareholders

approving the bid. As provided in rule 6, the provisions will

cease to have effect at the end of three years after their

adoption (25 October 2024) unless renewed.

It is proposed that the proportional takeover provisions are

renewed for a period of three years from the date of the AGM.

What is a proportional takeover bid?

A proportional takeover bid is one where the takeover offer

made by a bidder to each shareholder is only for a proportion of

that shareholder’s shares – for example, the bidder only makes

a bid for 30 per cent of each shareholder’s shares. The specified

proportion must be the same in the case of all shareholders.

Effect of the provisions

If rule 6 is renewed and a proportional takeover bid is made

for Ventia’s shares, the Directors will be required to convene

a general meeting of shareholders to vote on a resolution to

approve the proportional takeover bid. The resolution must

be voted on at least 14 days before the last day of the takeover

bid period. The bidder and any associates of the bidder will be

excluded from voting.

If the resolution is rejected by the shareholders, then the bid

will be deemed to be withdrawn and registration of any transfer

of shares resulting from the proportional takeover bid will be

prohibited. Acceptances will be returned, and any contracts

formed by acceptances will be rescinded. If the resolution is

approved, transfers to the bidder of shares which have been

accepted into the bid will be registered provided they comply

with the other provisions of the Constitution. If no resolution is

voted on at least 14 days before the last day of the takeover bid

period, then a resolution to approve the proportional takeover

bid will be deemed to have been passed. This effectively means

that shareholders may only prohibit a proportional takeover bid

by passing a resolution rejecting the proportional takeover bid.

The proportional takeover provisions do not apply to full

takeover bids. The renewed provisions will expire after three

years, unless again renewed by shareholders by a special

resolution. Similar provisions are commonly found in the

constitutions of publicly-listed companies on the ASX and are

regularly renewed.

12Ventia Notice of Annual General Meeting 2024
EXPL ANATORY STATEMENT

Reasons for proposing resolution

Part 6.5 Subdivision 5C of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth)

permits the inclusion and renewal of proportional takeover

provisions in the Constitution.

The Directors consider that shareholders should continue

to have the opportunity to vote on a proposed proportional

takeover bid. Without the provisions, a proportional takeover

bid for the Company might enable a bidder to obtain control

of the Company without shareholders having the opportunity

to dispose of all their shares. The 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

bid for their shares.

No knowledge of any present

acquisition proposals

As at the date of this Notice of Meeting, none of the Directors

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

the extent of, a substantial interest in the Company.

Review of the advantages and disadvantages

of the proportional takeover provisions

The Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) requires shareholders

to be given a statement which retrospectively examines

the advantages and disadvantages, for directors and

shareholders, of the proportional takeover provisions

proposed to be renewed.

During the period in which rule 6 of the Constitution has been

in effect there have been no proportional takeover bids made

for the Company and the rule has therefore not been activated.

The Directors are not aware of any potential takeover bid that

was discouraged by the proportional takeover provisions.

Potential advantages and disadvantages

The provisions enable the Directors to ascertain the views of

shareholders on a proportional takeover bid. Apart from this,

there is no specific advantage for Directors (in their capacity

as Directors) in renewing the proportional takeover provisions

because they remain free to make their own recommendation

on whether a proportional takeover bid should be approved

or rejected.

The potential advantages of the proportional takeover

provisions for shareholders are:

• they ensure that all shareholders will have an opportunity

to study a proportional takeover bid proposal and vote on

whether it should proceed. This should ensure that the terms

of any future proportional bids are structured to be attractive

to a majority of independent shareholders, including

appropriate pricing;

• they may assist shareholders in avoiding being left with a

minority interest; and

• knowing the view of the majority of shareholders may assist

individual shareholders to assess the likely outcome of the

proportional takeover bid and whether to approve or reject

that bid.

A potential disadvantage of the inclusion of such provisions in

the Constitution is that they may make a proportional takeover

bid more difficult to achieve and therefore discourage such bids

from being made. This in turn may reduce opportunities for

shareholders to sell some of their shares at an attractive price

to persons securing control of the Company and may reduce

any speculative element in the market price of the Company’s

shares arising from the possibility of a takeover offer being

made. Another potential disadvantage is that the provisions

may be considered to constitute an additional restriction on the

ability of shareholders to deal freely with their shares.

The Board considers that the potential advantages for

members of the proportional takeover provisions outweigh

the potential disadvantages.

Special resolution

Resolution 6 is a special resolution and, therefore, requires

approval of 75 per cent or more of all votes cast by

shareholders.

Directors' Recommendation

The Board considers that, on balance, renewal of the

proportional takeover provisions in the Constitution is in the

best interests of shareholders and accordingly recommends

that shareholders vote IN FAVOUR of renewing the proportional

takeover provisions.
