Transurban Performance Awards Plan - Sign-on Offer

The Grant of Performance Awards (Awards) was made in accordance with the Transurban Performance Awards Plan which is governed by the Transurban Equity Incentive Plan Rules (Plan Rules). Each Award is an entitlement to receive a stapled security in Transurban Group (ASX:TCL) at no cost to the recipient, subject to the achievement of performance and vesting conditions. Awards do not carry dividend or voting entitlements prior to vesting and cannot participate in new issues of stapled securities prior to vesting.

The Awards were granted to two newly appointed Group Executives (Executive) in recognition of equity awards forfeited by them with their prior employer upon commencement with Transurban.

Further terms governing the Awards are outlined below.

Vesting

The grants are divided into two tranches, the first tranche is scheduled to vest after the first 12 months of employment with Transurban and the second tranche after 24 months of employment.

Any Awards that do not vest, lapse and any Awards that vest are automatically exercised into Transurban stapled securities.

No payment is required by the Executive upon vesting or exercise of Awards. However, the Executive will be liable for any income taxes payable on the vesting of Awards.

Preventing Inappropriate Benefits

The Plan Rules deal with circumstances where Awards may lapse or stapled securities received on vesting of Awards may be forfeited or clawed back in order to prevent the Executive from obtaining an inappropriate benefit.

Cessation of employment

If the Executive resigns or employment is terminated for cause before the Awards vest, all of the unvested Awards will lapse (unless the Board determines otherwise). If the Executive ceases employment in any other circumstances, unless the Board determines otherwise, a pro rata number of the Awards (calculated based on the portion of the Performance Period that has elapsed) will remain on foot and subject to these terms (except that any continuous service requirement will be waived) and will be tested for vesting in the ordinary course.

Change of Control

If a Change of Control Event occurs (including a Takeover Bid or any other transaction, event or state of affairs that, in the Board's opinion, is likely to result in, or should otherwise be treated as, a change in the Control of the Company), the Board may decide that some or all Awards will vest or lapse in accordance with the Plan Rules. In determining whether to exercise its discretion, the Board may have regard to any circumstances it considers appropriate.

If an actual Change of Control occurs before the Board has exercised its discretion, a pro rata number of Awards will vest (calculated based on the portion of the Performance Period that has elapsed) and the remainder will lapse.

Dealing restrictions

Any Dealing in respect of an Award is prohibited, unless the Board determines otherwise, or the Dealing is required by law and the Executive provides satisfactory evidence to Transurban of that fact. If an attempt to Deal with Awards occurs in contravention of the Plan Rules (including, for instance, by entering into a hedging or other arrangement in relation to unvested Awards), Awards will lapse immediately, unless the Board determines otherwise.
