NOTICE OF ANNUAL SHAREHOLDERS’ MEETING 20249
EXPLANATORY NOTE 4 - 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 with 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 LTVR Instruments proposed to be issued to
Mr Gradon under NZX Listing Rule 4.6 do not require
shareholder approval of the issue, given Mr Gradon’s
participation has been determined by criteria applying
to employees generally under the company’s 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.
The company currently operates the following
long-term variable remuneration arrangements
(LTVR Plans) under which LTVR Instruments will
be issued to select executives and senior managers:
• The Fisher & Paykel Healthcare 2022 Performance
Share Rights Plan (the 2022 Performance Share
Rights Plan), under which performance share rights
are issued. This was introduced as a replacement for
the 2019 Performance Share Rights Plan, which had
in-turn replaced the Performance Share Rights Plan
that was first introduced in 2012. Under the 2022
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
on the third anniversary of the grant date.
Fisher & Paykel Healthcare Corporation Limited
10
• The Fisher & Paykel Healthcare 2022 Share
Option Plan (the 2022 Option Plan). This has been
introduced as a replacement for the 2019 Share
Option Plan, which had in-turn replaced the 2003
Share Option Plan. Under the 2022 Option Plan,
options vest and become exercisable for ordinary
shares depending on share price performance
relative to a cost of capital benchmark on the
third anniversary of the grant date.
Shareholder approval being sought
Shareholder approval is being sought:
• under Resolution (4), to issue up to 100,000
performance share rights to a total value of
$606,060 under the 2022 Performance Share
Rights Plan; and
• under Resolution (5), to issue up to 190,000
options to a total value of $606,060 under the
2022 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 one month of the date of the
Annual Shareholders’ Meeting.
Following the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting, an
independent valuation will be obtained from KPMG
to determine the fair value of each performance share
right and option to be issued this year. The number
of instruments to be issued to employees is based
on a set dollar amount divided by the valuation of
the respective LTVR Instrument. A higher valuation
would likely result in less LTVR Instruments being
issued, while a lower valuation would likely result
in more LTVR Instruments being issued this year.
The actual number of LTVR Instruments that will be
issued to Mr Gradon this year will be calculated once
the independent valuation is received following the
Annual Shareholders’ Meeting. The number will be
calculated by dividing the total value as approved
by shareholders by the fair value of each instrument.
NOTICE OF ANNUAL SHAREHOLDERS’ MEETING 202411
The below tables compare the total value and
maximum number of LTVR Instruments proposed
to be issued to Mr Gradon this year against the total
maximum number approved last year, as well as the
actual total number and value of LTVR Instruments
issued to Mr Gradon last year.

The company also intends to issue, pursuant to NZX
Listing Rule 4.6, up to 2,210,000 LTVR Instruments
in aggregate, to approximately 719 selected executives,
senior 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 2,500,000
LTVR Instruments to employees, including Mr Gradon,
following the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting.
The maximum aggregate number equates to the
issue of LTVR Instruments to acquire shares
representing approximately 0.4% of the total ordinary
shares on issue. If all 2,500,000 LTVR Instruments
were exercised for shares, then shareholders would
be diluted by this percentage amount. In 2023, the
actual number of LTVR Instruments issued was
1,495,132.
A summary of the key terms of the 2022
Performance Share Rights Plan and 2022
Option Plan is set out below.
NOTICE OF ANNUAL SHAREHOLDERS’ MEETING 202413
Key Terms of the 2022 Performance Share
Rights Plan
The key terms of the 2022 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
in New Zealand dollars over the same period (the
Index return).
• The company’s TSR will be calculated and
compared against the Index return on the third
anniversary of the grant of the performance
share rights (the PSR Performance Period).
• Performance share rights will only become
exercisable if the company’s TSR over the PSR
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 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.
• At the end of the PSR 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 that
are exercisable.
Fisher & Paykel Healthcare Corporation Limited
14
• 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
(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 PSR
Performance Period has not exceeded the Index
return over the same period, the performance
share rights lapse.
• 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;
–5.00pm 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, the last date
of the Exercise Period; and
–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
2022 Performance Share Rights Plan and the
shareholders in the event of a change in the
capital structure of the company.
NOTICE OF ANNUAL SHAREHOLDERS’ MEETING 202415
• The Board is also given discretion to amend the
terms of the 2022 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 2022
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.
Key Terms of the 2022 Option Plan
The key terms of the 2022 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 the third
anniversary of the date of grant of an option, 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 below) on that date.
Fisher & Paykel Healthcare Corporation Limited
16
• The share price will be weighed against the
Escalated Price on the third anniversary of the
date of grant of an option (“Grant Date”). If the
share price exceeds the Escalated Price at that
date, 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
the Exercise Period, but any options of that holder
issued on the same Grant Date that are not
exercised will be cancelled.
• 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, the holder’s options remain in force until
the end of the Exercise Period.
• 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:
–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.
NOTICE OF ANNUAL SHAREHOLDERS’ MEETING 202417
• 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 2022 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 2022 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 2022
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
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 option holders to cancel
vested options in consideration for shares of a
value equal to the gain that the option holders
would receive if they exercised their options)
applies to the options granted under the 2022
Option Plan.
