The Board has been working hard over many years to

ensure that executive pay is appropriate and aligned

framework, including those related to the proposed grant of

performance rights to the Managing Director.

I ask that you consider this letter and the accompanying

Explanatory Memorandum for Shareholders

Item 3

Adoption of Remuneration Report

The Remuneration Report is contained in the Directors’

Report in the 2026 Annual Report. Shareholders can

access a copy of the report at the Downer website,

www.downergroup.com.

The Remuneration Report provides information about the

remuneration arrangements for KMP, which includes Non-

executive Directors and the most senior executives, for the

year to 30 June 2026.

The Remuneration Report covers the following matters:

„

An introductory letter from the Chair and Chair of the

People and Culture Committee to shareholders

„

Summary of changes to remuneration policy

„

Details of Key Management Personnel

„

Remuneration policy, principles and practices

„

Relationship between remuneration policy and

company performance

The Board’s role in remuneration

„

Description of executive remuneration

„

Details of executive remuneration

„

„

Related party information

„

Description of Non-executive Director remuneration.

Shareholders will be given a reasonable opportunity to ask

questions about, or make comments on, the Remuneration

Report. Shareholders will be asked to vote on the

Remuneration Report.

The resolution is advisory only and does not bind Downer

or its Directors. The Board will consider the outcome of

the vote and comments made by shareholders on the

Remuneration Report at the meeting when reviewing

Downer’s remuneration policies.

Under the Corporations Act, if at least 25% of the votes cast

on the resolution are against the adoption of the relevant

Remuneration Report at two consecutive Annual General

Meetings (each an “AGM”, and any such potential 25% or

more vote ”against” commonly referred to as a “first strike”

or “second strike”), shareholders will be required to vote at

the second of those AGMs on a resolution that another

general meeting be held within 90 days, at which all of the

Company’s Directors in office at the time of the Directors’

resolution to make the Directors’ Report containing that

second Remuneration Report (other than the Managing

Director) must stand for re-election.

At last year’s AGM the resolution to adopt the 2025

Remuneration Report was carried with over 98.60% of votes

cast “for” the Remuneration Report.

Board recommendation

The Directors unanimously recommend that shareholders

vote in favour of Item 3 (Adoption of Remuneration Report).

Voting exclusions

A vote on Item 3 (Adoption of Remuneration Report) must

not be cast by or on behalf of a member of the KMP or by

any of their closely related parties (such as certain of their

family members, dependants and companies they control).

However, this does not prevent a member of the KMP, details

of whose remuneration are included in the Remuneration

Report, or any of their closely related parties, from voting as

a proxy for a person who is not a member of those KMP or

any of their closely related parties if:

„

the person specifies the way the proxy is to vote on

Item 3 (Adoption of Remuneration Report) in the proxy

form; or

„

the person voting as a proxy is the Chair and the proxy

form does not specify the way the proxy is to vote and

expressly authorises the Chair to exercise the proxy

even if the resolution is directly or indirectly connected

with the remuneration of a member of the KMP for the

Downer Group.

If you choose to appoint a proxy, you are strongly

encouraged to direct your proxy how to vote on Item 3

(Adoption of Remuneration Report) by marking any one of

“For”, “Against” or “Abstain” on the proxy form for that item of

business. As set out in the section on Appointing a Proxy, if

you have appointed the Chair of the meeting as your proxy

and you do not mark any of “For”, “Against” or “Abstain”

on the proxy form, you will be expressly authorising the

Chair to vote any proxies held by him in favour of Item 3

(Adoption of Remuneration Report), even if that item is

connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration

of a member of the KMP for the Downer Group.

The Chair of the meeting intends to vote any

undirected proxies in favour of Item 3 (Adoption of

Remuneration Report).

9Notice of Annual General Meeting 2026 Downer EDI Limited
Explanatory Memorandum for Shareholders

Item 4

Approval of Managing Director’s Long-Term

Incentive (LTI)

It is proposed to grant the Managing Director performance

rights in Downer as the Managing Director’s 2027 long-

term incentive plan (2027 LTIP) on the terms set out below

(2027 Grant) and to seek approval for that grant under ASX

Listing Rule 10.14.

This approval is being sought because Listing Rule 10.14.1

provides that a listed company must not permit a director

of Downer to acquire equity securities under an employee

incentive scheme unless it has been approved by

shareholders. The 2027 Grant falls within Listing Rule 10.14.1

above and therefore requires the approval of Downer’s

shareholders under Listing Rule 10.14.

Resolution 4 seeks the required shareholder approval to the

2027 Grant under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.14.

If approval is granted under ASX Listing Rule 10.14, the

Company will be permitted to issue ordinary shares in the

Company to Mr Tompkins in satisfaction of its obligations

under those performance rights when they vest. Further,

Downer will be able to proceed with the 2027 Grant

without impact on its ability to issue up to 15% of its total

ordinary securities without Shareholder approval in any

12-month period.

Proposed Long-Term Incentive for the

Managing Director for 2027

Under his employment agreement with Downer as

Managing Director, Mr Tompkins is entitled to be granted

performance rights each year with a maximum value equal

to 130% of his annual fixed remuneration. Performance

rights are being used to appropriately align Mr Tompkins’s

remuneration as Managing Director with shareholder

returns. The performance rights are subject to long-term

performance requirements and therefore only vest to

Mr Tompkins if those performance requirements are

met. If the resolution is not passed by shareholders, the

Board intends to provide a 2027 LTIP equivalent through

an alternative mechanism to meet Mr Tompkins’s

contractual entitlements.

In accordance with Downer’s contractual commitments, it

is proposed to grant Mr Tompkins performance rights with a

maximum value of 130% of his annual fixed remuneration at

the time the quantity of performance rights is determined

(as described below). Mr Tompkins’s current annual fixed

remuneration is $1,675,000. The grant will be in the form of

performance rights which are a right to receive fully paid

Downer ordinary shares which may be purchased on-

market or issued by the Company.

Dividends will be paid or accumulated only from the time

the performance rights vest.

Mr Tompkins is also eligible to receive an annual short-term

incentive (STI) up to a maximum opportunity of 120% of his

annual fixed remuneration. Any entitlement to an STI is in

accordance with the plan rules. There is no STI entitlement

where Mr Tompkins’s employment terminates prior to

the end of the financial year, other than in the event of a

change in control or by mutual agreement.

Entitlement under the 2027 Grant

Mr Tompkins will receive a grant on the same terms and at

the same time as other eligible employees.

Subject to shareholder approval being obtained, the

maximum number of performance rights granted to

Mr Tompkins will be 330,450. This quantity was calculated

as his annual fixed remuneration of $1,675,000 multiplied

by the participation rate of 130% divided by $6.5895 being

the daily average of the volume weighted average price of

Downer shares for the 10 trading days following the day of

the release of Downer’s results for the year ended 30 June

2026. Each performance right will convert to one ordinary

share once all vesting conditions are met.

If shareholders approve the proposed resolution in Item 4

(Approval of Managing Director’s long-term incentive), the

2027 Grant will be made within 12 months from the date of

this meeting.

Price on Grant or Vesting

No amount is payable by the Managing Director on grant

or vesting of the performance rights.

Vesting Conditions

Vesting of performance rights granted under the 2027 LTIP

will be subject to:

„

meeting certain performance hurdles over a specified

period; and

„

continued employment with Downer over a period

determined by the Board (service period).

Mr Tompkins’s proposed 2027 Grant will be divided

into two equal tranches subject to the following

performance hurdles:

„

relative total shareholder return (TSR); and

„

compound annual earnings per share growth (EPS).

Total Shareholder Return Tranche

TSR is measured over the three-year performance period

to 30 June 2029. TSR is calculated as the difference in

share price over the performance period, plus the value of

shares earned from reinvesting dividends received over this

period, expressed as a percentage of the share price at the

beginning of the performance period. If the TSR for each

company in the comparator group (see below) is ranked

from highest to lowest, the median TSR is the percentage

return to shareholders that exceeds the TSR for half of the

comparison companies. The 75th percentile TSR is the

percentage return required to exceed the TSR for 75% of the

comparison companies.

For rights in the TSR tranche to vest, absolute TSR must be

positive (‘positive TSR gateway’).

Performance rights in the tranche to which the relative TSR

performance requirement applies vest in accordance with

the following table:

the comparator group

Above 50th and below

75th percentile

Straight line vesting

and 75th percentile

75th percentile and above100%

The comparator group for the 2027 Grant is the companies,

excluding financial services companies, in the ASX100 index

as at the start of the performance period on 1 July 2026.

Earnings Per Share Tranche

EPS growth is measured over the three-year performance

period to 30 June 2029. The EPS measure is based on

AASB 133 Earnings per Share and is externally audited.

FY26 EPS will be adjusted, if required, to ensure it reflects

an appropriate baseline performance level.

The tranche of performance rights dependent on the

EPS performance condition vests pro rata between 4%

compound annual EPS growth and 9% compound annual

EPS growth.

Performance rights in the tranche to which the EPS

performance requirement applies vest in accordance with

the following table:

11Notice of Annual General Meeting 2026 Downer EDI Limited
Explanatory Memorandum for Shareholders

Board Approval Condition

Once some or all of the performance rights have met the

vesting conditions, the performance rights will not vest

unless the Board is satisfied there has been no conduct

on the part of Mr Tompkins that the Board considers

inappropriate and that the financial results against which

the performance vesting condition were tested were not

incorrect in a material respect and were not reversed

or restated.

Performance Period

The performance period for the 2027 Grant will be the

three years from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2029 and the service

period will end on 30 June 2030.

Change of Control

Under the 2027 LTIP, if there is a change in control of

Downer during the performance period, provided at least

12 months of the 2027 Grant’s performance period have

elapsed, unvested performance rights pro-rated with the

elapsed performance period are tested for vesting with

performance against the relevant performance hurdles for

that period.

Performance rights that have already been tested and

have met performance requirements but remain subject to

the completion of the service period condition will fully vest.

Neither unvested pro-rated performance rights nor

performance rights that have already been tested and

met performance requirements will vest unless the Board

is satisfied that there has been no conduct on the part of

Mr Tompkins that the Board considers inappropriate and

that the financial results against which the performance

hurdles were tested were not incorrect in a material respect

and were not reversed or restated.

Cessation of Employment

Upon cessation of employment of the Managing Director

for any reason, all performance rights that have not

vested by the cessation of employment will be forfeited

unless, subject to the termination benefit provisions of

the Corporations Act, the Board exercises its discretion to

permit the Managing Director to retain performance rights

by deeming him to be an “Eligible Leaver”. If Mr Tompkins

is deemed to be an Eligible Leaver, he may be entitled to

retain some or all of his performance rights and these will

be tested for vesting against the vesting conditions other

than the continued employment condition in their normal

course. An Eligible Leaver’s performance rights will be

settled with fully paid Downer ordinary shares or in cash in

the Board’s sole and absolute discretion. No performance

rights will vest unless the Board is satisfied that there has

been no conduct on the part of Mr Tompkins that the Board

considers inappropriate and that the financial results

against which the performance hurdles were tested were

not incorrect in a material respect and were not reversed

or restated.

Other Information

entitled to participate in the 2027 LTIP

new issues of securities.

Board recommendation

In the view of the Non-executive Directors, it is in the best

interests of shareholders to approve the performance rights

based 2027 long-term incentive grant to the Managing

Director because it appropriately aligns the Managing

Director’s remuneration with shareholder returns. Your

directors (in the absence of the Managing Director)

therefore recommend shareholders approve the 2027 Grant

and the Managing Director’s participation in the 2027 LTIP.

Voting exclusions

The Company will disregard any votes cast in favour of

Item 4 by or on behalf of:

„

Mr Tompkins; or

„

associates of Mr Tompkins.

However, the Company need not disregard a vote cast in

favour of the resolution by:

„

a person as proxy or attorney for a person who is entitled

to vote on the resolution, in accordance with directions

given to the proxy or attorney to vote on the resolution in

that way; or

„

the Chair of the meeting as proxy or attorney for a

person who is entitled to vote on the resolution, in

accordance with a direction given to the Chair to vote

on the resolution as the Chair decides; or

„

a holder acting solely in a nominee, trustee, custodial

or other fiduciary capacity on behalf of a beneficiary

provided the following conditions are met:

—

the beneficiary provides written confirmation to

the holder that the beneficiary is not excluded from

voting, and is not an associate of a person excluded

from voting, on the resolution; and

—

the holder votes on the resolution in accordance with

directions given by the beneficiary to the holder to

vote in that way.

Shareholders should note that apart from Mr Tompkins no

Director is eligible to participate in any employee incentive

scheme in relation to the Company.

If you choose to appoint a proxy, you are strongly

encouraged to direct your proxy how to vote on Item 4

(Approval of Managing Director’s long-term incentive)

by marking any one of “For”, “Against” or “Abstain” on

the proxy form for that item of business. As set out in the

section on Appointing a Proxy, if you have appointed the

Chair of the meeting as your proxy and you do not mark

any of “For”, “Against” or “Abstain” on the proxy form, you will

be expressly authorising the Chair to vote any proxies held

by him in favour of Item 4 (Approval of Managing Director’s

long-term incentive) even if that item is connected directly

or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of KMP for

the Downer Group.

The Chair of the meeting intends to vote any undirected

proxies in favour of Item 4 (Approval of Managing Director’s

long-term incentive 2027).
