AUB Group Limited Annual Report 2023

DIRECTORS’ REPORT YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023

SECTION 2 HOW VARIABLE REMUNERATION IS STRUCTURED (CONTINUED)

FY23 LONG TERM INCENTIVE – HOW DOES IT WORK? Vesting

(CONTINUED)

PSRs vest following testing by the Board at the end of the relevant three year performance period. Prior to vesting, the outcome is assessed holistically against individual and Group performance to determine if any discretion to vary from formulaic results should apply. The Board will have the discretion to exclude the impact of significant acquisitions or capital raisings that are considered in the best long-term interest of AUB if these occur within the final 12 months of the performance period. Any discretion applied will be disclosed. If PSRs vest, the Board has discretion to issue new shares, acquire shares on-market or to cash settle to satisfy the PSRs that will vest. Participants receive one share for each PSR that vests or, if the Board determines, an equivalent cash payment. Shares allocated on vesting of the PSRs are subject to the terms of AUB Group’s Securities Trading Policy and carry full dividend and voting rights upon allocation. There will be a holding lock for a period of one year from the date that the PSRs vest and convert into shares. During this period executives will be restricted from dealing with any of the shares allocated on vesting. For PSR grants issued after 1 July 2022, holders of PSRs are entitled to a cash equivalent of dividends paid during the performance period if the PSRs vest. There are no voting rights until the PSRs have vested and converted into shares. If the CEO and Managing Director ceases employment before his PSRs vest, then the following treatment applies: – if employment is terminated in accordance with Mr Emmett’s employment agreement, without notice, for serious misconduct or by reason of illness, injury or incapacity of Mr Emmett, all unvested PSRs will automatically lapse; or – if employment is terminated with notice given by the Company or Mr Emmett, all unvested PSRs remain on foot and will be tested in the ordinary course. If a participant ceases employment before his/her PSRs vest, then the following treatment applies, unless the Board determines otherwise: – if employment is terminated for cause, as a result of the participant being unable to perform duties due to ill health, injury or incapacity or if the participant resigns, then all unvested PSRs automatically lapse; or – if employment ceases in any other circumstances, then a pro rata portion of the participant’s PSRs (based on the portion of the performance period that has elapsed up to the date of cessation) remain on foot and are tested in the ordinary course in accordance with the vesting conditions. If a participant ceases employment and holds vested PSRs which have not been exercised, then the following treatment applies, unless the Board determines otherwise: – if employment is terminated for cause, then all vested PSRs automatically lapse; or – if employment ceases in any other circumstances, then all vested PSRs must be exercised within three months of cessation of employment. After this time, all vested PSRs are automatically exercised at a time determined by the Board.
