Count seeks shareholder vote on executive incentives, capital raising

Count Limited will hold its Annual General Meeting on Monday, November 10, 2025, in Sydney, to vote on six resolutions. Key items include the re-election of Kate Hill as a director and the adoption of the remuneration report for the financial year ended June 30, 2025.

A significant resolution seeks approval for a grant of 522,016 performance rights to managing director and chief executive Hugh Humphrey under the 2025 LTI Award, valued at AUD 534,284. These rights, granted at no cost, are subject to vesting conditions including service and performance hurdles tied to underlying diluted EPS growth and average underlying ROE over three consecutive financial years commencing July 1, 2025.

The company also seeks shareholder approval for an additional 10% placement capacity, allowing it to issue up to 16,930,444 equity securities to raise cash for general working capital, asset-related activities, debt repayment, or acquisitions. Furthermore, shareholders will vote on the adoption of the employee incentive plan, proposing a maximum of 10,000,000 equity securities over three years, and an increase in non-executive directors' remuneration by AUD 200,000 to a total of AUD 900,000 per annum.
