ASX Limited will hold its 2026 Annual General Meeting on October 22, 2026, at 10 a.m. Sydney time at the Amora Hotel, with a live webcast for remote shareholders. The meeting will vote on four director elections, financial reports, and performance rights for new CEO Anthony Attia, who began his role on September 1, 2026 ASX Market Announcements.
Shareholders must submit proxy votes and power-of-attorney documents by 10 a.m. on October 20. The ASX board unanimously recommends voting in favor of all four director candidates — Vicki Carter and Luke Randell for re-election, plus Deidre McGrath and Vic Jokovic for their first formal election after being appointed since last year's AGM ASX Market Announcements.
New CEO's Performance Rights Require Shareholder Approval
Anthony Attia joined ASX as Managing Director and CEO on September 1, 2026, after the company announced his appointment in May. The October 22 meeting will vote on Item 4, which grants Attia performance rights tied to long-term targets and company share price performance ASX Market Announcements. This equity-based pay structure aligns the new CEO's incentives with shareholder returns.
Board Renewal Brings Two New Non-Executive Directors
Deidre McGrath and Vic Jokovic joined the ASX board as non-executive directors since the 2025 AGM but must now seek formal shareholder approval. Under Australian corporate law, directors appointed to fill casual vacancies must stand for election at the next shareholder meeting ASX Market Announcements. Both candidates have strong board backing, though they abstain from recommending their own election per governance rules.
Vicki Carter and Luke Randell also stand for re-election. All four director resolutions will be voted on separately, allowing shareholders to decide on each candidate individually ASX Market Announcements.
Shareholders Face Different Rights Based on Attendance Method
In-person attendees at the Amora Hotel's Whiteley Ballroom (registration opens at 9 a.m.) can ask oral questions and vote directly on all resolutions. Online webcast viewers cannot vote live or pose questions orally — they can only submit written questions to management ASX Market Announcements. This distinction may affect shareholder engagement levels, particularly for investors unable to attend physically.
Shareholders who cannot attend can appoint one or two proxies to vote on their behalf. The meeting chair can vote undirected proxies at their discretion on remuneration matters if shareholders explicitly authorize it ASX Market Announcements. Proxy forms, direct voting forms, and shareholder question forms were released on September 21.
Comprehensive Reports to Be Tabled and Recorded
ASX shareholders will receive the Financial Report, Sustainability Report, Directors' Report, and Auditor's Reports for the year ended June 30, 2026. The meeting will also present the National Guarantee Fund's Financial Statements and Auditor's Report ASX Market Announcements. An advisory vote on the Remuneration Report follows, though this vote is non-binding and does not affect executive pay.
After October 22, ASX will publish a full recording of the meeting and voting results on its website, extending access beyond the live webcast ASX Market Announcements. This allows shareholders who miss the live event to review the proceedings and board commentary later.
