3 Approve Remuneration Report Mgmt For Against
Blended Rationale: Remuneration: Performance conditions: A vote against is applied as the level of disclosures in respect of
performance conditions does not allow shareholders to make a fully informed assessment of remuneration.A vote AGAINST the
remuneration report is warranted, given that the following aspects of the remuneration framework and practices are misaligned
with shareholder interests, the company's performance and accepted market practice:- A high level of concern for
misalignment is identified in the quantitative pay for performance analysis;- Executives (excluding the CEO of AMP Capital who
has a profit share plan) received excessive bonuses which are misaligned with the company's financial performance and
shareholder outcomes;- Executives (aside from the Group CEO) received excessive LTI awards between $1.5 million to $4.9
million (or 3x to 5x their fixed remuneration) which are misaligned with the company's performance and shareholder outcomes.
Such quantum is excessive when even compared against grants to many CEOs of large ASX-listed entities.- Non-executive
director remuneration continues to be materially excessive and well above market cap and selected peer groups.
