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 even if they plan

of a proxy. For a valid direct vote to be recorded Shareholders
must mark ‘For’, ‘Against’, or ‘Abstain’ on each resolution.

NOTICE OF MEETING 2025 |
Voting by Proxy
A Shareholder is entitled to appoint a proxy to attend the
meeting and vote on their behalf. To do so, Shareholders
should mark Section B “Appoint a Proxy” on the Voting Form
that accompanies this Notice of Meeting to appoint the
Chairman 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. The
Chairman must vote any directed proxies in accordance
with such directions.
If a Shareholder appoints the Chairman as their proxy, or
the Chairman becomes their proxy 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.

| EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
Agenda Item 4: Grant of Securities to the Managing Director and Group
Chief Executive Officer under Ventia’s Long-term Incentive Plan
Background
The Board considers that Ventia’s executives should be remunerated in a manner that aligns their interests with those of Ventia’s
Shareholders. Granting Share Appreciation Rights (SARS) under the long-term incentive (LT I) plan seeks to encourage and reward
long-term sustainable performance and shareholder value. It is the Company’s policy that the performance-based at risk pay of
executives represents a significant component of their total remuneration.
Approval is sought to grant Dean Banks, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer (MD & CEO), SARS under Ventia’s FY25 LTI Plan.
Plan Overview
Ventia is requesting shareholder approval to grant the FY25 LTI award to Dean Banks under the following terms:
Te r mDescription
Maximum Opportunity 100% of fixed remuneration ($1,456,000). The actual LTI awarded to Dean Banks will depend on Ventia’s
performance assessed against the Board approved FY25 LTI upfront grant metrics outlined below.
LTI grant value (Up-front
performance testing)
The following scorecard will be used to determine the FY25 LTI grant value awarded to Dean Banks:
Performance categoryPerformance periodWeight
Work in hand
Comprising:
i) the future revenue from contracted projects
with agreed volumes and scope;
ii) an estimate of future revenue that is likely to be
generated from contracted projects where the
project scope and volumes are variable.
Tested as of 31 December 202533.33%
Cash conversion ratio
Cash conversion ratio will be measured by
operating cash flow divided by EBITDA.
Three years preceding the grant year,
i.e. 1 January 2023 to 31 December 2025
33.33%
EPS CAGR
Earnings per share compound annual growth
rate will be measured by the growth in EPS.
Three years preceding the grant year,
i.e. 1 January 2023 to 31 December 2025

For each of these measures, the initial LTI grant value will be calculated as follows:
Performance categoryLTI grant value (% of maximum LTI opportunity)

Maximum100%
Due to the commercial sensitivity, details of the performance measure and the extent to which the targets
are achieved will be disclosed in the Company’s Remuneration Report at the completion of financial year.

NOTICE OF MEETING 2025 |
Te r mDescription
VehicleSARS, which provide a right to be allocated a number of Shares (or a cash equivalent payment, at the Board’s
discretion) at a future date, based on the difference in share price across the applicable vesting period.
Additionally, Dean Banks will be entitled to receive dividend equivalents on any Shares that he receives
as a result of SARS vesting. The dividend equivalents will be approximately equal to the cash amount of
total dividends that would have been received had those Shares been held between the grant date of
the SARS and vesting of the SARS.
SARS will be granted at no cost to Dean Banks and no amount is payable on vesting of the SARS.
The Company uses SARS because they create share price alignment between executives and ordinary
shareholders but do not provide the executives with the full benefits of share ownership (such as
dividend and voting rights) unless and until the SARS vest.
Allocation PriceBased on the Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) of Shares for the 20 trading days up to and
including 31 December 2025 (Allocation Price).
Allocation methodologyThe number of SARS granted will be determined based on a set market valuation, being 35% of Ventia’s
Allocation Price.
LTI vesting valueIn addition to the FY25 LTI upfront grant performance metrics, the LTI awarded in SARS is assessed at
the end of the vesting period (i.e. after two, three and four years) against a ROE threshold performance
measure of 15% in each preceding financial year prior to the relevant vesting date (i.e. subject to an
ongoing minimum level of acceptable performance).
For the avoidance of doubt, the ROE threshold applies to each tranche of SARS separately. For example,
if the ROE threshold is not met in respect of the tranche one, the second and third tranches will still be
capable of vesting.
Further, by delivering the LTI in SARS which only hold value if the Share price is more at the date of
vesting than at the date of grant, there is a Share price growth performance hurdle.
DividendsIn the period between grant date and vesting of SARS, Dean Banks has no legal or beneficial interest in
any resulting Shares and no entitlement to receive dividends and has no voting rights.
In respect of Shares that are received when SARS vest, Dean Banks will be entitled to receive additional
Shares equivalent in value to notional dividends accrued on Shares during the period between grant
date and vesting of the SARS, or the cash equivalent value at the Board’s discretion (i.e. the dividend
equivalents).
Determining the number
of shares at vesting
If the ROE and Share price growth performance hurdles are achieved, the number of Shares at vesting
will be calculated, together with the dividend equivalents on vested SARS over each of the relevant
vesting periods (i.e. two, three or four years).
The total number of Shares that may be delivered on vesting of SARS in each tranche (excluding Shares
with respect to the dividend equivalent amount which is determined separately) is calculated using the
following formula, rounded up to the nearest whole Share:
(Vesting Date Price - Allocation Price)
X
One third of the total number of Share Appreciation
Rights (SARS)
Vesting Date Price
Vesting Date PriceBased on a 20-day VWAP of Shares up to and including 31 December of the relevant vesting period.
Sales restrictionTo further ensure alignment of executives with long-term business value and with the shareholder
experience, a sale restriction applies to Shares received in respect of vested SARS and the dividend
equivalents, until the release of Ventia’s annual results for the financial year (approximately 14 months
after vesting).
Performance periodThe metrics used in the LTI scorecard to determine a grant value, use a three-year timeframe in respect
of cash conversion ratio and EPS CAGR. Work in hand is a point-in-time measure and is compared to
target. Following the grant, performance is further tested over two, three and four years in respect of
growth in share price and ROE during the most recent full financial year prior to the relevant vesting date.
Using a number of key grant and vesting metrics, the span of performance testing for LTI is up to
seven years (three years prior and four years following grant), in addition to the sale restriction.

| EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
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 purposes of Listing Rule 10.14 and in the interests of transparency and
good governance. While obtaining Shareholder approval would give the Company the flexibility to issue shares to satisfy the vesting
of any SARS, the Company currently intends to satisfy any vested SARS (as well as any dividend equivalents) with Shares that have
been acquired on-market.
Dean Banks is a Director of the Company and the only Director entitled to participate under the Plan.
If Shareholder approval is obtained the FY25 LTI award that is the subject of this approval will be granted to Dean Banks shortly after
release of the annual financial results for FY25 (and, in any event, within 12 months of the date of this meeting). If Shareholder approval
is not obtained, the Board will consider alternative arrangements to appropriately remunerate and incentivise Dean Banks.
LTI illustration:
Additional terms
Te r mDescription
Hedging provisionsDean Banks is prohibited from trading financial products while in possession of material non-public
information, and from hedging his exposure to vested or unvested Company equity.
ClawbackThe Board may lapse SARS or dividend equivalents, or require Shares (or cash paid in lieu of Shares)
to be forfeited in certain circumstances, including:
• Fraud, dishonesty or serious misconduct;
• Breach of duties, responsibilities or obligations to any company in the Ventia group;
• Bringing any company in the Ventia group into disrepute;
• Material misstatement or omission in the financial statements;
• A catastrophic environmental or safety event that results in significant damage to the reputation of
any company in the Ventia group or its operations; or
• Any other circumstance that the Board determines would result in a participant receiving an
inappropriate benefit if clawback was not exercised.
Change of controlWhere there is a change of control event, the Board may determine:
• that some or all of the SARS vest; and
• to pay an amount, calculated as determined by the Board, reflecting the dividend equivalents that
a participant would otherwise have been entitled to in respect of any vested SARS.
Cessation of employmentThe treatment of LTI for Dean Banks on ceasing employment will depend on the circumstances of
cessation. Unless the Board determines otherwise, the following treatments will apply:
Prior to the grant of LTI:
• Not eligible to receive an LTI.
After the grant of LTI:
• Good Leaver: unvested SARS will remain on-foot in accordance with the terms of the plan.
