20 August 2020

Dear Fellow ASX Shareholder

ASX Limited ABN 98 008 624 691

I am pleased to invite you to the 2020 Annual General Meeting (AGM) of ASX Limited. The meeting will be held on Wednesday, 30 September 2020, starting at 10:00am (Sydney time).

ASX has been closely monitoring the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Having regard to the social distancing requirements in New South Wales and in the interests of the health and safety of our shareholders and staff, the ASX Board has decided that our 2020 AGM will be held as a virtual meeting. Shareholders will not be able to attend the 2020 AGM physically, but will instead be able to view and participate in the virtual meeting online. This approach is in line with temporary modifications to the law and current regulatory guidance, however we acknowledge the disappointment it might cause for some shareholders.

You will be able to watch and participate in the meeting in real-time on your computer or mobile device through an online platform that allows you to submit questions and vote. Further information on how you can participate in the AGM (including how to register, vote and ask questions) is set out on the following pages.

At the meeting, Dominic Stevens (Managing Director and CEO) and I will provide an overview of ASX's performance during the 2020 financial year. Additional information regarding ASX's performance is contained the 2020 Annual Report, which can be viewed on ASX's website.

The items of business to be considered at the AGM are set out in the following pages, which also include explanatory notes and the Board's voting recommendations.

Mr Damian Roche is seeking re-election at this meeting and Mr Rob Woods, who was appointed during the financial year, is seeking election. The Board unanimously supports their respective re-election and election.

Mr Peter Warne will retire as a director of ASX at the conclusion of the 2020 AGM. The Board and I thank Peter for his invaluable contribution since joining the ASX Board in July 2006.

I look forward to welcoming you to ASX's 2020 AGM.

Yours sincerely,

Rick Holliday-Smith

Chairman

If you cast a direct vote prior to the meeting you may still attend the virtual meeting. If you attend the meeting, the Chairman has determined that your direct vote will not be cancelled unless you cast a live vote during the meeting.

You will be able to live vote in real-time during the meeting when invited by the Chairman. You will be able to vote for, against or abstain on each item through the online platform.

Appointing a proxy

You can appoint a proxy to attend and vote on your behalf as an alternative to attending the meeting or casting a direct vote in advance of the meeting.

You may appoint a proxy either online at www.linkmarketservices.com.au or by completing and submitting a Voting Form prior to the meeting.

If you use the Voting Form to appoint a proxy, you must mark Box B in Step 1 on the Voting Form. You can direct your proxy how to vote on Items 3 to 5 by marking "For" or "Against" for your vote to be counted.

A proxy does not need to be a shareholder of ASX. A proxy may be an individual or a company. If you are a shareholder entitled to cast two or more votes, you may appoint up to two proxies. If you appoint two proxies, you should complete two separate Voting Forms and specify the percentage or number of votes each proxy is appointed to exercise. If you do not specify a percentage or number in both forms, each proxy may exercise half of the votes. You must return both Voting Forms together. If you require an additional Voting Form, please contact Link Market Services on +61 1300 724 911.

ASX Limited ABN 98 008 624 691

A and Box B, you will be taken not to have appointed a proxy and your direct votes will be counted.

If you appoint a proxy, you may still attend the virtual meeting. However, your proxy's right to speak and vote will be suspended while you are present. If you would prefer that this did not occur, consider watching the webcast as a visitor rather than signing in with your shareholder details.

Impact of your proxy appointment on your voting instructions

If you appoint the Chairman as your proxy and do not direct him how to vote, you are authorising the Chairman to cast your undirected vote on all proposed resolutions.

If you appoint any other member of ASX's key management personnel (KMP) or their closely related party as your proxy, they will not be able to vote your proxy on Item 4 (Remuneration Report) or Item 5 (Grant of performance rights to Managing Director and CEO) unless you have directed them how to vote.

"Closely related party" is defined in the Corporations Act and includes a spouse, dependant and certain other close family members, as well as any companies controlled by a KMP.

If you intend to appoint a KMP or their closely related party or the Chairman as your proxy, you are encouraged to direct them how to vote on Items 3 to 5 by marking "For", "Against" or "Abstain" for each of those items of business.

The Chairman's voting intentions

The Chairman intends to vote undirected proxies on, and in favour of, all the proposed resolutions. If there is a change to how the Chairman intends to vote undirected proxies, ASX will make an announcement to the market.

The Chairman's decision on the validity of a direct vote, vote cast by a proxy or vote cast by a shareholder (including by attorney or corporate representative) is conclusive.

Notice of 2020

Annual General Meeting

30 September 2020

Item 4: Remuneration Report

The Remuneration Report of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2020 (FY20) is set out in ASX's 2020 Annual Report.

The report outlines ASX's executive remuneration framework and the FY20 remuneration outcomes for the ASX Board, the Managing Director and CEO (CEO) and Key Management Personnel (KMP).

The Chairman will allow a reasonable opportunity for shareholders to ask questions about, or make comments on, the Remuneration Report at the meeting.

The resolution is advisory only. The Board will consider and take into account the outcome of the vote and feedback from shareholders on the Remuneration Report when reviewing the Company's remuneration policies.

Board recommendation

The non-executive directors recommend that you vote in favour of this item.

Voting exclusions

ASX will disregard any votes cast on this resolution:

  • by or on behalf of a member of the KMP named in the Remuneration Report for the year ended 30 June 2020, or that KMP's closely related party, regardless of the capacity in which the vote is cast
  • as a proxy by a member of the KMP at the date of the meeting, or that KMP's closely related party,

unless the vote is cast as a proxy for a person who is entitled to vote on this resolution:

  • in accordance with their directions on how to vote as set out in the proxy appointment or
  • by the Chairman pursuant to an express authorisation on the Voting Form.

Item 5: Grant of performance rights to the Managing Director and CEO

Shareholder approval is sought for CEO LTI grant

ASX asks shareholders to consider and vote upon a grant of performance rights to Mr Dominic Stevens under ASX's Long-Term Incentive (LTI) plan.

ASX considers it appropriate for shareholders to vote on Mr Stevens' participation in the LTI plan, even though shareholder approval for the grant of performance rights under the LTI plan is not required under the Listing Rules because any shares will be purchased on-market.

How will the proposed FY21 grant be calculated?

The number of performance rights to be granted to Mr Stevens is calculated by dividing $1 million by the Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) of ASX shares over the 10 business days preceding 30 September 2020 (the date of the proposed grant).

As an illustrative example only, based on the VWAP of ASX's shares over the 10 business days preceding 1 August 2020 of $83.78, the number of performance rights granted to Mr Stevens would be 11,936. The fair value of 11,936 performance rights as at 1 August 2020 as calculated by an independent valuer is $693,840.

Each performance right entitles Mr Stevens to receive, upon vesting, one fully paid ASX ordinary share (or at the Board's discretion, Mr Stevens may instead receive a cash-equivalent payment). Performance rights have no entitlement to dividends or voting.

The number of shares that may vest at the end of the performance period (if any) will be determined having regard to the performance criteria described in these explanatory notes.

ASX Limited ABN 98 008 624 691

What is the performance period for the FY21 grant?

Four years, commencing on 1 October 2020 and ending on 30 September 2024.

What performance conditions apply to the FY21 grant?

The performance hurdles include internal and external measures, split 50% EPS and 50% TSR.

(i) EPS performance condition (50% weighting)

EPS is calculated by dividing the underlying net profit attributable to ASX (statutory NPAT adjusted for the after tax effect of any significant items) by the weighted average number of ordinary shares.

EPS performance is measured over a four-year period, using FY20 as the base year and FY24 as the end year.

EPS performance rights will start to vest at 5.1% annual compound EPS growth. The Board believes this payout schedule for compound annual EPS growth over a four-year vesting period provides appropriately challenging stretch targets for management:

EPS growth

EPS performance rights

Less than 5.1% per annum

0%

5.1% per annum

50%

From 5.1% to 10% per annum

50%-100% straight line pro-rata vesting

At or above 10% per annum

100%

(ii) TSR performance condition (50% weighting)

TSR is determined by comparing ASX's performance to the performance of a group of peer companies selected by the Board.

The number of performance rights which vest at the 51st percentile of the peer group is 25%. This focuses management rewards on significant outperformance of the peer group.

The peer group is ASX 100 companies, excluding property trusts. This provides a broad and representative comparative peer group for Australian investors.

TSR will be calculated by an external provider as follows:

  • performance period 1 October 2020 to 30 September 2024
  • TSR calculation will use three-month VWAP up to (and including) the start date and end date of the performance period
  • dividends assumed to be re-invested on the ex-dividend date
  • ignoring tax and any franking credits (or equivalent).

The Board, based on the calculation performed by an external provider, will determine at the end of the performance period whether ASX has met the performance condition.

The number of performance rights that vest will be determined as follows:

TSR rank

TSR performance rights that vest

Less than 51st percentile

0%

51st percentile

25%

From 51st percentile to

25%-100% straight line pro-rata vesting

76th percentile

At or above the 76th percentile

Notice of 2020

Annual General Meeting

30 September 2020

When will shares be provided?

If performance conditions are met, Mr Stevens will be entitled to receive ASX shares at the end of the four-year performance period in September 2024.

What if shareholder approval is not obtained?

If shareholder approval is not obtained, then, subject to the achievement of the performance conditions described in these explanatory notes, Mr Stevens will receive a cash payment at the end of the four- year performance period in September 2024 equivalent in value to the LTI he would have received had shareholder approval been obtained.

Impact of cessation of employment

Performance rights granted to Mr Stevens will lapse immediately in the event of his resignation (unless approved by ASX) or his dismissal due to misconduct or poor performance. If Mr Stevens ceases employment for a qualifying reason, his LTI will remain on foot, subject to its original terms, except that any service condition will be waived. A qualifying reason includes cessation by genuine retirement, mutual agreement, termination from the Group on notice, pursuit of other Company-approved initiatives, death, serious illness or accident. Where Mr Stevens' LTI does not lapse immediately, the Board may determine (acting reasonably) the proportion of performance rights that remain on foot, vest or lapse.

Does the Board have any discretion to clawback or change vesting outcomes?

Yes. The Board has the discretion to change the number of shares provided to Mr Stevens following achievement of performance hurdles where:

  • necessary to protect the financial soundness of ASX
  • adverse outcomes have arisen that reduce the original assess- ment of the performance generating the provision of the benefit
  • the Board considers that performance outcomes have been materially impacted by changes to ASX's dividend policy, capital structure, gearing or corporate structure
  • the Board considers not doing so would provide the CEO with an 'inappropriate benefit' under ASX's Clawback Policy
  • the Board determines that vesting should increase or decrease by up to 20%.

The Board will exercise such discretion in a manner that is consistent with supporting sound and effective risk management, protecting ASX's long-term stability and aligned with creation of long-term shareholder value.

ASX Limited ABN 98 008 624 691

Additional information

  • Performance rights are granted to Mr Stevens as part of his remuneration. No amount is payable by Mr Stevens when performance rights are granted or when they vest.
  • Mr Stevens' current total remuneration package is:
    • total fixed remuneration of $2,000,000 (inclusive of superannuation)
    • STI of up to 150% of total fixed remuneration
    • LTI with a face value of $1,000,000.

Shareholders are referred to the FY20 Remuneration Report for further details of Mr Stevens' remuneration.

  • Mr Stevens has previously been awarded 67,988 performance rights under the LTI Plan at no cost as part of his remuneration.
  • ASX uses performance rights under the LTI plan because they create share price alignment between executives and ordinary shareholders but do not provide executives with the full benefits of share ownership (such as dividend and voting rights) unless and until the performance rights vest.

Board recommendation

The non-executive directors recommend that you vote in favour of this item.

Voting exclusions

ASX will disregard any votes cast:

  • in favour of this resolution by or on behalf of Mr Stevens or an associate of Mr Stevens, regardless of the capacity in which the vote is cast; and
  • on this resolution as a proxy by a member of the KMP at the date of the meeting, or that KMP's closely related party,

unless the vote is cast on this resolution:

  • as proxy or attorney for a person entitled to vote on the resolu- tion in accordance with their directions of how to vote as set out in the proxy appointment;
  • as proxy for a person entitled to vote on the resolution by the Chairman pursuant to an express authorisation to exercise the proxy to vote as the Chairman thinks fit; or
  • by 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 associ- ate 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.

Full Votes

To submit a full vote on a resolution ensure you are in the 'Full Vote' tab. Place your vote by clicking on the 'For', 'Against', or 'Abstain' voting buttons.

Once you have registered, your voting card will appear with all of the resolutions to be voted on by Shareholders at the Annual General Meeting (as set out in the Notice of Meeting).

When you enter the number of votes in a certain box it will automatically tally how many votes you have left.

Note: If you are submitting a partial vote and do not use all of your entitled votes, the un-voted portion will be submitted as No Instruction and therefore will not be counted.

If at any point you have submitted your voting card and wish to make a change while voting is still open you can do so by clicking the 'Edit Card' button and making the required change. Once you have completed your card select the 'Cast Vote' or 'Cast Partial Vote' button.

The voting card remains editable until the voting is closed at the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting. Once voting has been closed all voting cards, submitted and un-submitted, will automatically be submitted and cannot be changed.

At the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting a red bar with a countdown timer will appear at the top of the Webcast and Slide windows advising the remaining voting time available to Shareholders. Please make any changes required to your voting cards at this point and submit your voting cards.

If an additional resolution is proposed during the meeting, there will be a short delay while the resolution is added to the voting card.

In order to vote on the extra resolution you will need to reopen your voting card to cast your vote by clicking the 'Edit Card' button.
