•The Board is committed to clearly linking pay and performance, and evolving our remuneration
disclosures for shareholders.
•The 2024 and 2025 Long Term Incentive Schemes comprise only performance share rights. No
share rights that are conditional only on continued tenure are included.
•The targets under the 2025 Remuneration Framework are not duplicated under the Short Term
and Long Term Incentive Schemes, as follows:
•There is no current need anticipated for any further one-off retention grants for critical talent.
•Independent benchmarking reports, including based on data from a peer group of Australasian
listed technology and entertainment companies, are used to inform executive compensation.

Director Fee Pool Review
15
•The current Director Fee Pool is NZ$725,000 and was last approved by shareholders in
2021.
•The Board has engaged Guerdon Associates to undertake an independent benchmarking
review of Vista Group’s Director Fee Pool against a defined peer group of Australasian listed
technology and entertainment companies.
•The independent report showed that the current Director Fee Pool is the lowest ranking of
the peer group, that the Chair and Board member fees sit at the second lowest and lowest
ranking among the peers. It should be noted that committee fees sit above the median of the
peer group.
•It is critical that the Board can attract the caliber of directors required to continue to
successfully execute the global strategy.
•Shareholders will be asked to approve an increase to the Director Fee Pool at the ASM on 21
May 2025.
•Further information regarding the comparator group and the independent benchmarking
report will accompany the Notice of Meeting.
