REMUNERATION REPORT
LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN OF THE PEOPLE AND REMUNERATION COMMITTEE
Dear Shareholder,
The 2020 financial year has seen unprecedented economic and environmental challenges across Australia and New Zealand: bushfires of exceptional ferocity, floods and major hailstorms, all followed by the global COVID-19 pandemic.
Throughout the year our employees have worked tirelessly to meet these challenges, to serve customers, protect colleagues and preserve shareholder returns.
Despite these efforts however, shareholder returns for the 2020 financial year have declined materially.
Our current financial year cash earnings result of $279 million is 70% lower than the prior financial year, primarily due to a combination of higher-than-anticipated natural perils (which had a negative impact on the current financial year cash earnings of around $195 million), and investment income losses as a result of COVID-19-related financial market volatility (contributing more than $315 million to our cash earnings shortfall). In addition, the remediation of longstanding risk matters has also had a financial impact. The 2020 financial year cash earnings result has meant that, in accordance with our 60-80% of cash earnings dividend policy, there will be no final 2020 financial year dividend for our shareholders.
Remuneration outcomes reflect our business results and risk performance
In response to these results, and considering the current economic circumstances and uncertainty, the Board has decided the following remuneration outcomes for Executives and employees:
Fixed pay
- no increases to the 2021 financial year fixed pay for senior management including Executives.
- no increase to the 2021 financial year fees for Directors.
- a flat 1% increase for eligible employees below the level of Executive Manager.
Short-term incentives (STI)
- no STI payments will be made for the 2020 financial year.
Long-term incentives (LTI)
- The 2017/2018 LTI awards with the ROE performance measure reached the end of their three-year performance period on 30 June 2020. Having regard to the Group performance over the period, the Board has determined the award will vest at 82%. This outcome will be included in detail in next year's Remuneration Report. The 2016/2017 LTI awards which vested at 100% on 12 August 2019 are disclosed in detail in this Report.
- During the 2020 financial year, the four-year performance period for the relative total shareholder return (TSR) portion of the 2015/2016 LTI award concluded on 30 September 2019. IAG's TSR was ranked at the 75th percentile of its peer group resulting in full vesting of this award on 15 October 2019. The TSR component of the 2016/2017 LTI will reach the end of its performance period on 30 September 2020, and has not yet been finally considered by the Board. The vesting results for this tranche will be disclosed in next year's Remuneration Report.
In addition, the Board made a number of downward risk-related adjustments to deferred awards of senior leaders in relation to risk failures identified and assessed during the year. Adjustments were made in respect of current and former Executives, to a total of approximately $2.7 million. Several adjustments below the Executive level were also made.
In taking these decisions, the Board has been mindful that returns to shareholders for the 2020 financial year have been well below what has been achieved in recent years. At the same time, the Board wants to acknowledge the considerable endeavours of employees across the Group, and to thank them as they have sought to provide high quality, uninterrupted service to our customers through difficult times and events.
Being guided by our purpose in the 2021 financial year and beyond
COVID-19 continues to have a severe impact on many of our customers and on the community more widely. Many people are facing difficult circumstances. We will continue to be guided by our purpose as we support our customers and employees in these challenging times.
Our purpose will also continue to guide the decisions we make, including those that relate to Executive pay. In determining Executive pay outcomes, we will still assess both financial and non-financial business performance. Our comprehensive risk assessment process will help ensure we deliver results in a sustainable way for all IAG stakeholders. We will continue to monitor the alignment of remuneration outcomes with business performance, the economic environment and the experiences of our stakeholders and we will exercise discretion where required.
24 IAG ANNUAL REPORT 2020
While the timelines for some proposed regulatory changes have been extended due to the impact of COVID-19, IAG continues to proactively mature its remuneration governance practices. In doing this, we are seeking to ensure our practices continue to operate effectively and will readily adapt to the future regulatory context of both the Financial Accountability Regime (FAR) and APRA Prudential Standard CPS 511 Remuneration (CPS 511).
As always, we look forward to receiving feedback on any aspect of this report and our remuneration arrangements, and we appreciate your ongoing support.
Jon Nicholson
Chairman, People and Remuneration Committee

B. EXECUTIVE REMUNERATION STRUCTURE
I. Remuneration guiding principles
There are six guiding principles that underpin IAG's approach to remuneration. The following chart illustrates these guiding principles.
II. Summary of remuneration components
The table below describes the structure and purpose of Executive remuneration components for the year ended 30 June 2020.

Long-term | LTI grants are determined annually by the Board. The grants are |
incentives | in the form of Executive Performance Rights (EPRs) that have |
(LTI) | performance hurdles over a four-year performance period, which |
align to IAG's strategic financial targets. | |
Details relating to the LTI plan are presented in Table 4. |
Create a direct link between Executive reward and the return experienced by shareholders through two hurdles:
- cash ROE evidences IAG's return on total shareholders' equity. Cash earnings performance is a key component of the ROE calculation and directly influences the dividend paid to shareholders; and
- relative TSR reflects the value created for shareholders through dividends and the movement in the share price, measured against the top 50 industrial companies in the S&P/ASX 100 Index.
27
Remuneration received by Executives is based on IAG's performance over a number of time periods, as illustrated in the following graph. The timeframe of potential payments to Executives is staggered progressively from one to four years to encourage decision- making which supports long-term, sustainable performance.
III. Remuneration mix
The following graph illustrates the mix of remuneration components provided to Executives (based on maximum potential earnings, as at 30 June 2020).
Each remuneration component is described in more detail below.
IV. Fixed pay
TABLE 2 - FIXED PAY
Overview | Fixed pay is set with reference to the median of the external market for comparable roles, considering |
the size and complexity of the role, and the skills and experience of the individual. For Australian-based | |
Executives, the external market consists of financial services companies in the S&P/ASX 50 Index and | |
companies that are of similar size to IAG. Local market peer groups are considered for overseas-based | |
Executives. | |
Increases to fixed pay are generally only provided when pay is below market levels, or there has been a | |
material change in the responsibilities of the Executive. | |
During the 2020 financial year, Julie Batch's fixed pay increased from $735,000 to $825,000 (following | |
her appointment as Chief Strategy and Innovation Officer). No other Executives received increases to | |
fixed pay during the year. | |
28 IAG ANNUAL REPORT 2020
V. Short-term incentive
The table below summarises key terms of the STI plan and deferred STI.
TABLE 3 - STI AND DEFERRED STI
STI
Overview | STI is the at-risk remuneration component designed to motivate and reward Executives for superior |
performance in the financial year. | |
Compliance gateway | To be eligible for an STI, Executives are required to satisfactorily complete compliance training |
courses which are designed to ensure participants know how to protect IAG's customers and operate | |
in a fair and transparent manner compliant with appropriate regulations. | |
Behavioural gateway | To be eligible for an STI, Executives are required to demonstrate appropriate behaviours in the way |
they achieve performance outcomes. The Group CEO's behaviour is assessed by the Board. | |
Executives' behaviours are assessed by the Group CEO, who recommends eligibility to the Board. | |
STI opportunity | For the 2020 performance year, the maximum value of STI that could be granted is set out in Table |
6. | |
Funding | The Board considers the Group's cash earnings performance when determining overall STI funding |
for the year. | |
In view of the 2020 financial year cash earnings, the Board determined not to make an STI | |
allocation for the Group CEO and Executives. | |
Performance measures | Executive performance is measured against the Group Balanced Scorecard and individual goals |
using both financial and non-financial measures (for further details, refer to Table 5). | |
Performance evaluation | The PARC reviews the Group CEO's performance based on the Group Balanced Scorecard outcomes |
(as described in Table 5), and the effectiveness of risk management during the year, and then | |
recommends an STI award for approval by the Board. | |
The Group CEO reviews the performance of Executives based on the Group Balanced Scorecard | |
outcomes and achievement against individual goals. The Group CEO then recommends an STI | |
award for consideration by the PARC, which then recommends an STI award for approval by the | |
Board. | |
To ensure incentives provided to the Group CEO and Executives are appropriate, the Board assesses | |
the risk management performance of IAG (including any prior year events that have come to light in | |
the current year) prior to determining final incentive outcomes. | |
For all individuals, the Board may apply discretion in determining the STI outcomes to ensure they | |
appropriately reflect performance. | |
Instrument | Half the STI award is delivered in cash in September following the financial year end, and half the STI |
award is deferred for a period of up to two years based on continued service. The deferred | |
component is typically paid in the form of DARs with no dividend entitlement until the rights vest and | |
are exercised. | |
DEFERRED STI | |
Overview of DARs | DARs are rights over the Company's ordinary shares. DARs are granted at no cost to the Executive and |
no dividend is paid for any unvested, or vested and unexercised DARs. | |
In 2018, the Board made an exception to the dividend policy for holders of DARs that were due to vest | |
after the record date for final dividends during 2018 and 2019. This exception was made following | |
IAG's decision to bring forward the date that annual results are announced to the market. Due to this | |
change, the record date for final dividends was also brought forward to avoid a delay in distributing | |
profits to shareholders. Consequently, holders of DARs that vested in September 2018 and some DARs | |
that vested in September 2019 were no longer entitled to receive the final dividend, as the vesting | |
dates fell shortly after the new, earlier dividend record dates. In recognition of this adverse | |
consequence, the Board determined to make a cash payment to employees holding DARs at the | |
September 2018 and September 2019 vesting dates, equivalent in value to the dividends they would | |
otherwise have received if the record date had not moved. The payments relating to the September | |
2019 vesting date are disclosed in this Remuneration Report. No further payments will be made in | |
relation to this matter. | |
Number of DARs issued | The number of DARs issued is calculated based on the volume weighted average share price (VWAP) of |
the Company's ordinary shares over the 30 days up to and including 30 June before the grant date. | |
29
Exercise and vesting of | Executives who participate in the STI plan become eligible to receive one ordinary share of the Company |
DARs | per DAR by paying an exercise price of $1 per tranche of DARs exercised. Vesting of DARs is subject to |
an Executive's continued employment with IAG at the vesting date or meeting the conditions to retain | |
unvested DARs upon cessation, as outlined in the 'Malus and forfeiture conditions' section below. | |
Hedging of DARs | Executives may not enter into transactions or arrangements which operate to limit the economic risk of |
unvested entitlements to IAG securities. | |
Malus and forfeiture | The Board retains the discretion to adjust downwards the unvested portion of any deferred STI awards, |
conditions | including to zero (refer to Section D for more information on the adjustment framework). |
Deferred STI awards will generally be forfeited if the Executive resigns before the vesting date, except in | |
special circumstances (including redundancy, retirement, death or total and permanent disability). | |
When an Executive ceases employment in special circumstances, any unvested rights may be retained | |
on cessation of employment subject to the existing terms and conditions of the award including the | |
vesting date, subject to Board discretion. | |
In cases where the Executive acts fraudulently or dishonestly or is in breach of his or her obligations to | |
IAG, the unvested rights will lapse. | |
VI. Long-term incentive
The table below summarises key terms of the LTI plan.
TABLE 4 - LTI
Overview | LTI grants are determined annually by the Board. The grants are in the form of EPRs that have |
performance hurdles aligned to IAG's strategic financial targets. | |
Rights granted during the year will not vest and have no value to the Executive unless the performance | |
hurdles are achieved. | |
LTI opportunity | For the 2020 performance year, the maximum value of LTI that could be granted to the Group CEO and |
each Executive is as below: | |
165% of fixed pay for the Group CEO; | |
140% of fixed pay for the Deputy CEO and the CEO, Australia; | |
80% of fixed pay for the CRO; | |
40% of fixed pay for the Acting CFO; and | |
125% of fixed pay for all other Executive Team members. | |
Instrument | If performance hurdles are achieved over the four-year performance period, rights can be settled with |
either the Company's ordinary shares or an equivalent cash payment. The Board may choose to | |
exercise discretion to settle rights on vesting in cash in circumstances where it is restrictive to settle | |
rights with shares, including in jurisdictions where legislative requirements prohibit share ownership in | |
a foreign entity. Where rights are settled in cash, the value of the cash payment is determined based on | |
the VWAP for the five trading days up to and including the vesting date. | |
Allocation methodology | The number of rights issued is calculated based on the VWAP over the 30 days up to and including 30 |
June before the grant date. | |
Dividend entitlements | No dividend is paid or payable for any unvested, or vested and unexercised, rights. |
Performance hurdles | The cash ROE performance hurdle (50% weighting) and relative TSR performance hurdle (50% |
weighting) are measured over four years. | |
30 IAG ANNUAL REPORT 2020
Performance hurdle - | Description | Cash ROE is measured relative to IAG's weighted average cost of capital (WACC). |
cash ROE | For LTI awards granted prior to November 2018, there were six half-year periods | |
measured. For LTI awards granted from November 2018 onwards, there are eight half- | ||
year periods. | ||
In 2019, a review of the cash ROE hurdle was completed, considering factors such as | ||
IAG's business strategy, market practice, changes to IAG's capital base and historic and | ||
projected ROE performance. Following this review, the vesting range was increased from | ||
1.2-1.6 times WACC to 1.4-1.9 times WACC for the November 2019 LTI grant onwards. | ||
The Board can reduce the cash ROE vesting outcomes in order to ensure that reward | ||
outcomes appropriately reflect performance. | ||
For awards vesting from 30 June 2020 onwards, the Board will consider the impact of | ||
changes in the cost of capital over the performance period. In the event that there have | ||
been material changes in the cost of capital, the Board can consider the extent to which | ||
this may have influenced vesting outcomes to ensure that reward outcomes | ||
appropriately reflect performance. | ||
Definition | ROE is calculated as cash earnings divided by the average total shareholders' equity. | |
Cash earnings is defined as net profit after tax attributable to owners of the Company | ||
plus amortisation and impairment of acquired identifiable intangible assets and adjusted | ||
for unusual items after tax (non-recurring in nature). In determining vesting outcomes, | ||
the Board considers the overall quality of earnings over the performance period, | ||
including differences between the statutory profit and cash earnings, and movements in | ||
the cost of capital. | ||
Testing | Cash ROE is calculated by dividing the cash earnings of IAG by the average total | |
shareholders' equity for a given period. This cash ROE figure is then expressed as a | ||
multiple of IAG's WACC. The cash ROE vesting outcome is based on the average cash | ||
ROE across the performance period (the six or eight half-year periods) divided by the | ||
average WACC over the same timeframe. | ||
Vesting (for | 0% vesting for cash ROE less than 1.4 times WACC | |
grants | 20% vesting for cash ROE at 1.4 times WACC | |
November | ||
2019 | 100% vesting for cash ROE at or above 1.9 times WACC | |
onwards) | ||
Straight-line vesting between 1.4 times WACC and 1.9 times WACC | ||
Performance hurdle - | Description | Relative TSR is measured against the top 50 industrial companies within the S&P/ASX |
relative TSR | 100 Index. Industrial companies are defined by Standard & Poor's as being all | |
companies excluding those in the Energy sector (GICS Tier 1) and the Metals & Mining | ||
industry (GICS Tier 3). | ||
Companies which are no longer part of the index at the end of the performance period | ||
(e.g. due to acquisition or delisting) may be removed from the peer group. | ||
Definition | TSR measures the return a shareholder would obtain from holding a company's share | |
over a period, taking into account factors such as changes in the market value of shares | ||
and dividends paid over that period. The relative measure compares IAG's TSR against | ||
that of companies in the peer group. | ||
Testing | Relative TSR performance for allocations made prior to November 2018 is measured | |
between 30 September of the base year and 30 September of the test year. | ||
Relative TSR performance for allocations made from November 2018 onwards is | ||
measured between 30 June of the base year and 30 June of the test year. | ||
The opening and closing share price for the TSR calculation for IAG and peer group | ||
companies uses a three-month VWAP. | ||
Vesting (for | 0% vesting for relative TSR less than the 50th percentile of the peer group | |
grants | 50% vesting for relative TSR at the 50th percentile of the peer group | |
November | ||
2019 | 100% vesting for relative TSR at or above the 75th percentile of the peer group | |
onwards) | ||
Straight-line vesting between the 50th and 75th percentile of the peer group |
31
Retesting | There are no opportunities to retest these performance hurdles. |
Hedging of EPRs | Executives may not enter into transactions or arrangements which operate to limit the economic risk of |
unvested entitlements to IAG securities. | |
Malus and forfeiture | The Board retains the discretion to adjust downwards the unvested portion of any LTI awards, including |
conditions | to zero (refer to Section D for more information on the adjustment framework). |
Unvested rights will generally lapse if an Executive resigns before the performance hurdles are tested, | |
except in special circumstances. When an Executive ceases employment in special circumstances, any | |
unvested rights may be retained on cessation of employment up to the point they vest, subject to Board | |
discretion. Special circumstances include: redundancy, retirement, death or total and permanent | |
disability. Any rights retained under these circumstances will remain subject to the original | |
performance conditions. | |
In cases where the Executive acts fraudulently or dishonestly or is in breach of his or her obligations to | |
IAG, the unvested rights will lapse. |
C. LINKING IAG'S PERFORMANCE AND REWARD
I. Linking IAG's short-term performance and short-term reward
IAG has three broad strategic priorities: 'customer', 'simplification' and 'agility'. The focus of each strategic priority is summarised on page 13 of the annual report.
The tables below summarise IAG's Group Balanced Scorecard objectives and outcomes for the year ended 30 June 2020. The objectives were agreed with the Board at the beginning of the financial year and were designed to focus Executives on delivering superior performance outcomes against the strategic priorities. Each Executive's performance is assessed based on their contribution to the objectives outlined below, as well as their individual performance.

IAG's performance improved from the 2019 financial year for all three agility indicators of leadership effectiveness, connectedness, and decision- making. Each exceeded the target range.
IAG's agility indicator scores improved from the 2019 financial year. These indicators help IAG understand how our employees experience leadership and decision-making, and the degree of connection employees feel to the organisation.

- The proportion of STI foregone is derived by subtracting the actual percentage of maximum received from 100% and was 100% on average for the year ended 30 June 2020 (compared to 40% in 2019).
The average STI for all Executives was 0% of the maximum STI opportunity.
34 IAG ANNUAL REPORT 2020
- Linking IAG's long-term performance and long-term reward Details of LTI vested during the year are set out below:
Cash ROE - 100% vesting for the 2016/2017 LTI awards
The Board has determined that, for the performance period from 1 July 2017 to 30 June 2020, the average reported cash ROE of
1.51 times WACC will apply. This will equate to an 82% vesting outcome, which will be reflected in next year's Remuneration
Report. For the performance period from 1 July 2016 to 30 June 2019, the average reported cash ROE was 1.91 times WACC. In determining the final vesting outcome for this award, the Board considered the overall quality of earnings, including the differences between the statutory profit and cash earnings. Following this review, the Board determined that the award would vest in full.
The following graph illustrates IAG's cash ROE/WACC performance over the past three years.
Relative TSR - 100% vesting
On 30 September 2019, the relative TSR portion of the 2015/2016 LTI award was tested. IAG's TSR was ranked at the 75th percentile of the peer group, resulting in a 100% vesting outcome.
The following graph illustrates IAG's relative TSR, on an annualised basis, against the top 50 industrial companies in the S&P/ASX
100 Index for the 2015/2016 LTI award:

- This includes the 10.00 cents (per ordinary share) 2016 special dividend.
- Outcomes reflect IAG's average cash ROE to WACC prior to the Board considering the impact of the software impairments announced to the market on 19 August 2016. The impact of the software impairments was to reduce average cash ROE to WACC by 0.09 times in the three years to 30 June 2016, 0.08 times in the three years to 30 June 2017 and 0.09 times in the three years to 30 June 2018.
- This includes the 5.50 cents (per ordinary share) 2019 special dividend paid as part of the capital management initiative announced in August 2018.
- Outcomes reflect IAG's average cash ROE to WACC prior to the Board considering the impact of the write-down of Asian asset carrying values reported in the 2018 financial year. The impact of the write-down of Asian asset carrying values would have been to reduce average cash ROE to WACC by 0.03 times in the three years to 30 June 2018, and by the same amount in the three years to 30 June 2019 and in the three years to 30 June 2020.
- Outcomes reflect IAG's average cash ROE to WACC prior to the Board considering the impact of the net gain on sale of the Thailand business in the 2019 financial year. The impact of the net gain on sale of the Thailand business would have been to increase average cash ROE to WACC by 0.13 times in the three years to 30 June 2019, and 0.14 times in the three years to 30 June 2020.
- Outcomes reflect IAG's average cash ROE to WACC prior to the Board considering the impact of the net gain on sale of the India business and the recognition of the customer refund provisions in the 2020 financial year. The impact of the net gain on sale of SBI General would have been to increase average cash ROE to WACC by 0.23 times in the three years to 30 June 2020, while the impact of the customer refund provisions would have been to reduce the average cash ROE to WACC by 0.10 times in the three years to 30 June 2020.

V. Group CEO remuneration
Below are further details on drivers of the actual remuneration received by the Group CEO that are outlined in Table 8. The components of remuneration mix are shown with commentary on how performance has translated into remuneration outcomes.
D. EXECUTIVE REMUNERATION GOVERNANCE
I. IAG's approach to remuneration governance
IAG governs remuneration through the Board and the PARC as illustrated in the following graphic.
37
II. Use of remuneration consultants
During the year, no remuneration consultants were engaged, and no recommendations, as defined by the Corporations Act 2001, were provided by remuneration consultants.
III. Adjustment framework
Variable pay reinforces behaviours aligned to IAG's purpose, encouraging both prudent risk-taking and risk mitigation that protects the long-term financial soundness and reputation of the Group. The Board retains overriding discretion to adjust variable pay (upwards, downwards and to zero) including:
- where a person or group of persons has been found to have engaged in misconduct or exposed IAG to risk beyond its risk appetite or controls;
- where it is necessary to protect the Group's long-term financial soundness;
- to take into account the outcomes of business activities;
- where it is required by law or APRA Prudential Standards; or
- any other circumstances the Board determines are relevant.
Each year, the PARC makes a recommendation to the Board on whether to adjust variable pay for Executives based on risk management performance. Adjustments may be applied to variable pay awards for current and/or prior years using one or both of the following mechanisms:
- in-yearSTI adjustment; and
- adjustment of awarded but unvested variable pay (malus).
The PARC's recommendations are informed by the identification and assessment of material financial and non-financial risks across the Group by the Risk Committee. The Risk Committee uses a range of inputs to support its assessment of risk management performance, including:
- a report by the Chief Risk Officer;
- a report by the Executive General Manager, Group Internal Audit; and
- the Group CEO's insights and recommendations.
The Board determined to make a number of downward risk-related adjustments (malus adjustments) to deferred awards of senior leaders in relation to risk failures identified and assessed during the year. Malus adjustments were made to current and former Executives as well as some senior managers below Key Management Personnel.
IV. Mandatory shareholding requirement for Executives
Table 9 outlines the mandatory shareholding requirements for Executives.
TABLE 9 - MANDATORY SHAREHOLDING REQUIREMENT
ORDINARY SHARES TO ACCUMULATE | PERIOD TO ACCUMULATE | |
AND HOLD | (from date of appointment) | |
Group CEO | 2 x base salary | Four years |
Executives (other than the Chief Risk Officer) | 1 x base salary | Four years |
Chief Risk Officer | 1 x base salary | Five years |
The mandatory shareholding requirement for Executives is based on either the value of shares at acquisition or the market value at the testing date, whichever is higher. This allows Executives to build a long-term shareholding in IAG without being impacted by short-term share price volatility. Compliance with this requirement is assessed at the end of each financial year, using the 30-dayvolume-weighted average share price leading up to and including 30 June, the value of shares at acquisition, and the Executive's base salary from the start of the accumulation period.
All Executives appointed prior to 30 June 2016 met the mandatory shareholding requirement at 30 June 2020.
-
NON-EXECUTIVEDIRECTOR REMUNERATION I. Remuneration policy
The principles that underpin IAG's approach to remuneration for Non-Executive Directors are that remuneration should: be sufficiently competitive to attract and retain a high calibre of Non-Executive Director; and
- create alignment between the interests of Non-Executive Directors and shareholders through the mandatory shareholding requirement.
II. Mandatory shareholding requirement for Non-Executive Directors
Non-Executive Directors are required to accumulate and hold ordinary shares of the Company with a value equal to their annual Board fee. The Non-Executive Directors have three years from the date of their appointment to the Board to meet their required holding.
The mandatory shareholding requirement for Non-Executive Directors is based on either the value of shares at acquisition or the market value at the testing date, whichever is higher. This allows Non-Executive Directors to build a long-term shareholding in IAG without being impacted by short-term share price volatility. Compliance with this requirement is assessed at the end of each financial year, using the 30-dayvolume-weighted average share price leading up to and including 30 June and the value of shares at acquisition.
All Non-Executive Directors appointed prior to 30 June 2017 met the mandatory shareholding requirement at 30 June 2020.
38 IAG ANNUAL REPORT 2020
III. Remuneration structure
Non-Executive Director remuneration comprises:
- Board fees (paid as cash, superannuation and Non-Executive Director Award Rights);
- Committee fees; and
- subsidiary board fees.
The aggregate limit of Board fees (as approved by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting in October 2013) is $3,500,000 per annum.
Directors can elect the portion of fees contributed into their nominated superannuation fund, provided minimum legislated contribution levels are met.
a. CHANGES TO NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR REMUNERATION DURING THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2020
In the year ended 30 June 2020, there were no changes to Board and Committee fees for the Insurance Australia Group Limited Board. There have been no changes to Board or Committee fees since the year ended 30 June 2017.
b. INSURANCE AUSTRALIA GROUP LIMITED BOARD FEES
A summary of fees for service to the Insurance Australia Group Limited Board is set out below:
TABLE 10 - BOARD AND COMMITTEE FEES (INCLUSIVE OF SUPERANNUATION)
ROLE | |||
BOARD/COMMITTEE | YEAR | CHAIRMAN | DIRECTOR/ |
MEMBER | |||
Board | 2020 | $577,116 | $192,372 |
Audit Committee | 2020 | $50,000 | $25,000 |
Risk Committee | 2020 | $50,000 | $25,000 |
People and Remuneration Committee | 2020 | $50,000 | $25,000 |
Nomination Committee | 2020 | N/A | N/A |
c. SUBSIDIARY BOARD FEES

- These amounts were paid to Hugh Fletcher and Simon Allen in New Zealand dollars for the period for which they served in the role and reported in Australian dollars using the average exchange rate for the year ended 30 June 2020 which was 1 NZD = 0.94825 AUD.

d. NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR AWARD RIGHTS PLAN (NARS PLAN)
Non-Executive Directors may elect to receive some or all fees in rights over IAG shares. Structuring Non-Executive Director fees in this manner supports Non-Executive Directors build their shareholdings in IAG, which enhances the alignment of interests between Non-Executive Directors and shareholders as well as facilitating the achievement of mandatory shareholding requirements.
TABLE 12 - NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR AWARD RIGHTS PLAN (NARS PLAN)
Participation | Each Non-Executive Director may agree with IAG to have a proportion of their base Board fee | |||
provided as NARs. Participation in the NARs Plan is voluntary. | ||||
Performance measures | There are no performance conditions | attached to the NARs Plan, which reflects | good governance | |
practices by ensuring that the structure of Non-Executive Director remuneration does not act to bias | ||||
decision-making or compromise objectivity. | ||||
A service condition is attached to the vesting of the NARs. The full annual allocation of unvested | ||||
NARs is issued at the grant date, with tranches vesting each month to align the vesting of NARs with | ||||
the payment of Non-Executive Director fees. As the grant date for NARs is part way through a | ||||
financial year, a proportion of the NARs granted is immediately vested. | ||||
Instrument | Grants under the NARs Plan are in the form of rights over the Company's ordinary shares. Each NAR | |||
entitles the Non-Executive Director to acquire one ordinary share in IAG subject to satisfaction of a | ||||
service condition. | ||||
Allocation methodology | The number of NARs offered is determined by dividing the | amount of base fee nominated by the five- | ||
day VWAP up to and including the grant date, rounded to the nearest NAR. | ||||
Voting rights | Non-Executive Directors have no voting rights until the NARs are exercised and the Non-Executive | |||
Director holds shares in IAG. | ||||
Exercise price | As NARs are purchased by Non-Executive Directors via fee | sacrifice arrangements at grant, Non- | ||
Executive Directors do not have to pay any amount to exercise NARs. | ||||
Expiry date | NARs expire on the date that is 15 years from the grant date, or any other date determined by the | |||
Board (Expiry Date). NARs that are not exercised before the Expiry Date will lapse. | ||||
Hedging of NARs | Non-Executive Directors may not enter into transactions or arrangements which | operate to limit the | ||
economic risk of unvested entitlements to IAG securities. | ||||
Forfeiture conditions | In the event a Non-Executive Director ceases service with | the Board, any vested NARs may be | ||
exercised for shares in IAG in the subsequent trading window. Any unvested NARs will lapse. Under | ||||
certain circumstances (e.g. change of control), the Board also has sole and absolute discretion to | ||||
deal with the NARs, including waiving any applicable vesting conditions and/or exercise conditions by | ||||
giving notice or allowing a Non-Executive Director affected by the relevant event to transfer their | ||||
NARs. | ||||

- Base salary includes amounts paid in cash plus the portion of IAG's superannuation contribution that is paid as cash instead of being paid into superannuation, and salary sacrifice items such as cars and parking, as determined in accordance with AASB 119 Employee Benefits. Julie Batch received a fixed pay increase during the 2020 financial year.
- Cash STI earned within the year ended 30 June and to be paid in the following September (representing 50% of the award made for the financial year).
- This column includes annual and mid-service leave accruals, 30% tax rebate on car allowances for certain KMPs who have salary sacrifice arrangements on cars, the ex- gratia payment for DARs affected by the change in record date, and other short-term employment benefits as agreed and provided under specific conditions. Other benefits provided to Craig Olsen include salary continuance insurance.
- Superannuation represents the employer's contributions.
- Long service leave accruals as determined in accordance with AASB 119.
- Payment in lieu of notice which incorporates statutory notice and severance entitlements.
- The deferred STI is granted as DARs and is valued using the Black-Scholes valuation model. An allocated portion of unvested DARs is included in the total remuneration disclosure above. The deferred STI for the year ended 30 June 2020 will be granted in the next financial year, so no value was included in the current financial year's total remuneration.
- This value represents the allocated portion of unvested EPRs (unvested LTI). To determine the value of EPRs, a Monte Carlo simulation (for the relative TSR performance hurdle) and Black-Scholes valuation (for the cash ROE performance hurdle) have been applied. The valuations takes into account the exercise price of the EPRs, life of the EPRs, price of ordinary shares of the Company as at the grant date, expected volatility of the Company's share price, expected dividends, risk free interest rate, performance of shares in the peer group of companies, early exercise and non-transferability and turnover which is assumed to be zero for an individual's remuneration calculation.
- At-riskremuneration is dependent on a combination of the financial performance of IAG, the Executives' performance against individual measures (financial and non- financial) and continuing employment. At-risk remuneration typically includes STI (cash and deferred remuneration) and LTI.
- Julie Batch was appointed to the role of Chief Strategy and Innovation Officer on 24 February 2020. Prior to this appointment she was Chief Customer Officer. Ms Batch's remuneration is shown for the full financial year.

- Opening number of rights on issue represents the balance as at the date of appointment as KMP or 1 July 2019.
- The value of the DARs granted during the year is the fair value at grant date calculated using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The value of the DARs granted on 12 November 2019 and 17 April 2020 was $7.48 and $6.09 respectively. This amount is allocated to remuneration over years ending 30 June 2020 to 30 June 2022. The value of the cash ROE portion of the EPRs granted on 12 November 2019 and 17 April 2020 is the fair value at grant date, calculated using the Black-Scholes valuation model, which was $6.80 and $5.45 respectively. The cash ROE portion of the EPR grants is first exercisable after the performance period concludes on 30 June 2023. The value of the relative TSR portion of the EPRs granted on 12 November 2019 and 17 April 2020 is the fair value at grant date, calculated using the Monte Carlo simulation, which was $3.45 and $2.29 respectively. The relative TSR portion of the EPRs is first exercisable on 30 June 2023. The amount is allocated to remuneration over the years ending 30 June 2020 to 30 June 2023. The value of the NARs granted during the year is the fair value at grant date calculated using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The value of the annual NARs granted on 15 September 2019 was $7.85. This amount was allocated to remuneration over the year ended 30 June 2020.
- Rights vested and exercised during the financial year. The value of the rights exercised is based on the annual VWAP for the year ended 30 June 2020, which was $7.19.
- Craig Olsen was incorrectly not awarded a full allocation of EPRs in the current year. These EPRs will be awarded next year under the same terms and conditions as the 2020 financial year EPRs. Table 13 reflects the accounting value of the intended 2020 financial year allocation of 126,900 EPRs.
- Christine Stasi received 51,000 DARs in April 2020 as compensation for incentives forgone on leaving her previous employer.
