RESOLUTION - Item 5 of the notice of meeting (Director Remuneration) - To consider and vote on an ordinary resolution that “The directors’ fees payable to all directors taken together as a pool be increased from $784,137 to $809,621 per annum with effect from 1 January 2027 pursuant to clause 27.1(a) of the Company’s constitution”.

Notes
Consistent with good governance practice, the Board periodically commissions an independent review of directors’ fees. In 2025, MG commissioned Strategic Pay Limited, an independent remuneration specialist, to review directors’ fees and recommend an appropriate level of remuneration. Following that review, shareholders approved an aggregate directors’ fee pool of $784,137 at the 2025 AGM. The pool included all fees and daily allowances relating to the Board, the Audit Committee and the Remuneration & Nomination Committee. Full details of the amounts paid to each director are disclosed in the statutory information section of the Annual Report for the relevant financial year. In 2026, rather than commissioning another full independent benchmarking review, the Board considered Strategic Pay Limited’s Directors’ Fees Report. That report contains detailed published market data on current directors’ fees across a range of industry sectors and comparator groups. The information was used to assess an appropriate general movement in directors’ fees for MG for the 2026/27 year. Having considered that report, the Board is seeking shareholder approval to increase the current fee pool by 3.25%, being $25,484, from $784,137 to $809,621. The new pool will include all fees and daily allowances relating to the Board, the Audit Committee and the Remuneration & Nomination Committee. Duties outside the normal duties of a director, if any, will continue to be remunerated by special fees in accordance with the Constitution. The Board seeks shareholder approval for the new fee pool to maintain appropriate market relativity and enable MG to continue to attract and retain directors with the skills and experience required to provide effective governance and direction for the Company.
