2. ROLE OF THE REMUNERATION AND NOMINATION COMMITTEE
The Remuneration and Nomination Committee (‘Remuneration Committee’) is responsible for reviewing and making recommendations to the
Board on the remuneration arrangements for the CEO and Executives. The Charter of the Remuneration and Nomination Committee is available
on the Group’s website at www.ofx.com.
To assist in performing its duties and making recommendations to the Board, the Remuneration Committee seeks independent advice from
external consultants on various remuneration-related matters. The Remuneration Committee follows protocols around the engagement and use
of external remuneration consultants to ensure compliance with the relevant Executive remuneration legislation.
During the year, the Company engaged 3 Degrees Consulting to provide remuneration recommendations as defined under the Corporations Act
2001 in relation to the CEO and Executive remuneration structure to be implemented in FY17, including STI and LTI design features and incentive
opportunities, as well as the retention arrangements put in place upon the unsolicited, non-binding indicative proposal from Western Union.
3 Degrees Consulting was paid $96,800 for these services.
The Board is satisfied that this advice received from 3 Degrees Consulting was made free from undue influence from the KMP to whom the
recommendations relate as 3 Degrees Consulting was engaged by and reported directly to, the Chair of the Remuneration Committee. In this
regard, in addition to adhering to Board approved protocols, 3 Degrees Consulting provided a formal declaration to the Chair of the Remuneration
Committee. The recommendations were made free from undue influence from Executives to whom the advice was related.
In addition to providing remuneration recommendations, 3 Degrees Consulting provided market practice data and advice on other aspects of
the Company’s remuneration framework throughout the year including governance, legal and stakeholder communications. Together, for these
additional remuneration related services, 3 Degrees Consulting was paid $62,950.

3. EXECUTIVE REMUNERATION PRINCIPLES AND STRUCTURE
PRINCIPLES USED TO DETERMINE THE NATURE AND AMOUNT OF REMUNERATION
The objective of the Executive reward framework is to ensure reward for performance is competitive and appropriate for the results delivered.
The framework aligns Executive reward with achievement of strategic objectives and the creation of value for shareholders and conforms to
market practice for delivery of reward.
The Board, in consultation with external remuneration consultants, ensures that Executive reward satisfies the following key criteria for good
reward governance practices:
•• Competitiveness and reasonableness;
•• Incorporates shareholders’ feedback;
•• Performance linkage/alignment of Executive compensation;
•• Transparency.
Other criteria which are considered in the Company’s remuneration principles are:
•• Alignment to shareholders’ interests:
•• has economic profit as a core component of plan design;
•• focuses on sustained growth in shareholder wealth, growth in share price and delivering constant return on assets as well as focusing
the Executive on key non-financial drivers of value;
•• attracts and retains high quality Executives.
•• Alignment to participant interests:
•• rewards capability and experience;
•• reflects competitive reward for contribution to growth in shareholder wealth;
•• provides a clear structure for earning rewards;
•• provides recognition for contribution to operational performance.
OVERVIEW OF EXECUTIVE REMUNERATION COMPONENTS
The Total Reward Remuneration (TRR) framework provides a blend of fixed short-term and long-term incentives and has three components:
•• Fixed – TFR;
•• At Risk – STI;
•• At Risk – LTI.
The relative proportion of ‘fixed’ and ‘target at risk’ components of Executive remuneration varies by Executive. Executives with a closer link to
the growth drivers of the business have a higher proportion of ‘at risk’, whilst Executives more aligned to risk and compliance functions have
a lower ‘at risk’ component. The table below outlines the percentage allocations for the CEO and the Executives. Participation in special retention
plans is not taken into account in determining the Executives’ percentage allocations.

Remuneration is reviewed annually to ensure it remains competitive within the market. Remuneration increases are subject to merit and are
in respect of Executives, subject to the approval of the Remuneration Committee. The Remuneration Committee has the discretion to change
performance-based elements of remuneration, including short-term and long-term incentives, at any time, where it considers it appropriate.

3. EXECUTIVE REMUNERATION PRINCIPLES AND STRUCTURE CONTINUED
OVERVIEW OF EXECUTIVE REMUNERATION COMPONENTS CONTINUED
Total Fixed Remuneration (TFR)
TFR may be delivered as a combination of cash and prescribed non-financial benefits at the Executives’ discretion.
Executives are offered a competitive base pay that comprises the fixed cash component of pay and rewards inclusive of superannuation.
External remuneration consultants from time to time provide analysis and advice to ensure TFR is set to reflect the market for a comparable role.
(i) Benefits
Executives may structure their remuneration to include non-cash benefits.
(ii) Superannuation
Retirement benefits are provided via defined contributions to approved superannuation funds.
Short Term Incentive (STI)
The key details of the STI Plan for the FY16 financial year are as outlined below:
STI component
Details
Eligibility
All Executives participated in the STI Plan during the year.
Opportunity
The size of the STI opportunity available to each Executive is based on their accountabilities and impact of their role on
the Company. This is typically in the range of 15-50% of TRR.
Executives who commence or leave during the financial year are generally paid a pro-rata share of their STI entitlements.
KPIs
The STI is subject to the achievement of annual KPIs. See (i) below for further detail.
Payment
Payments of the STI are made after the financial results are released in May.
Delivery
Cash.
(i) Key performance indicators
The Remuneration Committee will annually approve the KPIs to link the STI Plan and the level of payout if the KPI targets are met. This includes
setting any maximum payout under the STI Plan, and minimum levels of performance. The Remuneration Committee is responsible, after the
preparation of the financial statements each year (in respect of financial measures) and after a review of performance against non-financial
measures by the CEO (and in the case of the CEO, by the Board following recommendation by the Committee), for recommending to the Board
the final STI payout for the previous financial year. The Board retains the discretion to vary the final STI payout if performance is considered to be
deserving of either a greater or lesser amount.
The KPI’s linked to the STI Plan comprise two equal tranches (50% each) and within each tranche are a series of objectives. To be eligible for
access to STI, a minimum EBTDA performance must be achieved of at least 90% of target EBTDA. Target EBTDA is approved by the Board at the
commencement of the performance period. Tranche A are non-financial performance indicators for the particular Executive and Tranche B are
financial performance indicators.
(ii) Tranche A (50%)
The non-financial performance indicators are designed to drive leadership performance and behaviours consistent with the role and expectations
for that individual Executive. These include objectives around leadership and culture, risk and compliance and project management. A maximum of
50% of the total target STI is available in Tranche A. If an Executive does not meet a minimum performance threshold in Tranche A, they are not
eligible to participate in Tranche B.
34 OZFOREX GROUP
(iii) Tranche B (50%)
The financial performance indicators are an appropriate way to align the delivery of the Group’s objective of delivering growth to the shareholders
and ultimately improving shareholder returns. In the event of outperformance against the target financial performance indicators, there is a potential
additional 20% outperformance bonus available on the Total STI (Tranche A and Tranche B). If financial performance is more than 25% negative to
target then no STI will be payable irrespective of whether the minimum performance threshold in Tranche A was met for a particular Executive.
The financial performance indicators for 2016 were:
•• Net operating income;
•• EBTDA (earnings before tax, depreciation and amortisation);
•• New dealing clients; and
•• Net active clients.
(iv) 2016 STI outcome
For the 2016 financial year, the minimum gateway performance of 90% of the EBTDA target set at the start of the financial year was not met.
Therefore, as explained under (i) above, irrespective of performance under Tranche A or Tranche B, no STI was payable for the year. The amount
of target STI forfeited by KMPs is set out below.

FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2016
3. EXECUTIVE REMUNERATION PRINCIPLES AND STRUCTURE CONTINUED
OVERVIEW OF EXECUTIVE REMUNERATION COMPONENTS CONTINUED
Long Term Incentive (LTI)
Long-term incentives are provided to Executives pursuant the OzForex Group Long Term Incentive Plan (‘the LTI Plan’). The key details of the plan
are as outlined below:
LTI components
Details
Objective
The LTI Plan is designed to link long-term Executive reward with the ongoing creation of shareholder value,
with the allocation of equity awards which are subject to satisfaction of performance hurdles.
Under the LTI Plan, either performance rights or options can be issued.
Eligibility
All Executives participated in the LTI Plan in the 2016 financial year if they were an employee at the start of the
year. In certain circumstances, one-off allocations of performance rights have been made as part of the initial
employment arrangements of a particular Executive.
Instrument
Performance rights enable the Executive KMP to acquire an ordinary share in the Company in the future
subject to time-based and performance-based vesting conditions being achieved. They are granted for nil cash
consideration and have a nil exercise price. They carry no right to vote or receive a dividend.
Award value
An Executive KMP LTI award is typically in the range of 15-30% of their TRR.
Allocation methodology
The number of performance rights issued to each Executive KMP is calculated by dividing their LTI target value
by the value per right, being the volume weighted share price in the five days prior to issuance adjusted for the
probability of achieving performance levels, and the present value of expected dividends that will not be received
by employees during the vesting period.
Allocation timing
Generally, performance rights will be issued annually in June. An additional issuance of performance rights
outside of the annual issuance may occur as a retention mechanism at different times.
Performance period
Three years.
Vesting conditions
Performance rights are subject to a performance hurdle and ongoing employment.
The performance hurdle to apply to each issuance of performance rights will be determined by the Board
at the time of issue.
Forfeiture conditions
Performance rights will automatically be converted to one ordinary share upon the vesting date provided the
Executive complies with the rules of the LTI Plan. Performance rights that are not converted will be forfeited where:
•• The expiry date applicable to the performance right is reached; and
•• If, upon the employee ceasing to be employed or their employment is terminated, the Board notifies the
employee of the forfeiture; or
•• Performance conditions are not met.
Any performance rights which do not vest following testing of the performance hurdles at the end of the
performance period will be automatically forfeited.
Shareholder approval
Any performance rights to be issued to the CEO are subject to shareholder approval.
Changes in share capital
If there are any changes in the share capital of the Company (such as a rights issue, subdivision, consolidation
or reduction in capital) then the Directors may make adjustments as they consider appropriate subject to the ASX
Listing Rules.
Implications of the CEO stepping down during 2016
On 6 February 2015, the Company announced that Neil Helm CEO would be stepping down over the forthcoming months. As a result the Board
resolved as follows with regard to the performance rights on issue to him at that time:
•• That the 46,454 performance rights issued in February 2014 will be forfeited, being a pro-rata amount of the original 176,250 performance
rights issued at that time, known as the IPO Performance Rights. The balance of 129,796 performance rights will remain on foot subject to the
terms and conditions set out under ‘IPO performance rights issuance’ (Section 4) below. The Board has determined that 31.2% of these will
vest on 7 June 2016.
•• That 474,653 performance rights would be forfeited (being 304,653 of the 330,000 performance rights issued in December 2014 and the
further 170,000 performance rights for which shareholder approval was intended to be sought in 2015). This leaves 25,347 performance
rights which will remain on foot and subject to the terms and conditions that were approved by shareholders at the 2014 AGM. These
performance rights are eligible to vest on 7 June 2017, subject to satisfying the performance conditions set out in the 2014 Notice of Meeting.
The 25,347 performance rights represent the pro-rata portion of the standard annual allocation of performance rights that were issued and
does not include any portion of the special issuance of performance rights that were approved at the 2014 AGM.
36 OZFOREX GROUP
In both cases, the pro-rata calculation has been determined by reference to the end of Mr Helm’s six month notice period following the date
of his resignation, being 6 August 2015.
Performance rights and options issued during 2016
At the 2015 Annual General Meeting approval was sought to grant the CEO, Mr Kimber, an initial issuance of performance rights and options
under the LTI Plan.
There was a standard annual issuance of performance rights to Executives in June 2015 (FY15 performance rights). The performance conditions
that apply to FY15 performance rights, including to Mr Kimber are as follows:

The options issued to Mr Kimber will vest 50% on 30 June 2018 and 50% on 30 June 2019 subject to ongoing employment conditions as shown
on page 44.
Two new Executives, Mr Smith and Mr Pendleton‑Browne, were granted a one-off initial issuance of performance rights at the commencement
of their employment to replace forfeited incentives from their previous employment. No performance hurdles apply to the issuances to Mr Smith
and Mr Pendleton-Browne, except tenure.
Further information on the number of performance rights and options held by KMPs can be found in Section 6 of this Remuneration Report.
Additional retention arrangements implemented during 2016
In light of the unsolicited, non-binding indicative proposal from Western Union (Indicative Proposal) as announced on 19 November 2015, the Board
considered the need to put retention arrangements in place for new Executives who commenced in the six months prior to that Proposal.
Since the commencement of Richard Kimber as CEO of OzForex on 1 June 2015, the Company has recruited five new Executives being the
Chief Operating Officer, Chief Technology Officer, Head of People and Culture, Chief Marketing Officer and Acting Head of North America.
A total retention pool of $2.66 million was allocated to the six Executives who commenced in their roles during the six months prior to the receipt
of the Indicative Proposal. This included $1.25 million allocated to CEO, Richard Kimber.
The Board believed that these arrangements were fair and reasonable in the circumstances because the new Executives had little or no unvested
equity allocated to them under the Company’s LTI Plan and as such presented a retention risk if provided with more certain offers of employment.
It was in shareholders’ best interests that the services of Mr Kimber and newer Executives were retained to lead the Company during the period
of uncertainty and beyond.
The retention arrangement remains on foot until 31 December 2016, such that if a change of control event occurs before then, the retention pool
will vest in favour of eligible Executives as to 50% upon a change of control, and 50% six months from financial close of any transaction to ensure
continuity and retention post the transaction period.
The retention pool will be progressively reduced/replaced by any LTI granted (which for the next LTI grant to the CEO will be subject to shareholder
approval at the next AGM) before any change of control transaction completes (or if no change of control transaction eventuates) with normal
performance conditions attached to ensure Executives do not receive any windfall gain from the arrangements if there is no change of control.
Longer serving Executives who have multiple grants under the existing LTI Plan still on foot will not be entitled to participate in the retention pool.
The Board has indicated, however, that it intends to exercise discretion such that all unvested incentives will vest in full, subject to satisfactory
individual performance, should a change of control transaction occur.
In the event there has been no change of control by 31 December 2016, the balance of the retention pool that has not been granted in LTI will lapse.
As per AASB 137 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets, there is no requirement to recognise a provision and therefore expense
for this arrangement until the likelihood of the arrangement crystallising, on a change of control event, becomes probable. A change of control
event has currently been assessed as remote and so there is no requirement to provide for this expense.
ANNUAL REPORT 2016 37
REMUNERATION REPORT CONTINUED
FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2016
4. LEGACY (IPO RELATED) REMUNERATION PRACTICES
IPO PERFORMANCE RIGHTS ISSUANCE
As foreshadowed in the prospectus prior to the IPO (sections 6.3.1 – 6.3.3 of the Prospectus), all Executives who were employed by the Company
at the listing date (and others who were members of the Leadership Team at the time of the IPO) were issued performance rights on the listing
date, which subject to satisfaction of relevant performance conditions will vest on 7 June 2016 (reflecting a 32-month vesting period to align the
vesting date with annual issuances of performance rights). A key performance condition for full vesting of the performance rights will be that the
Group meets or exceeds earnings growth targets for the performance period and the employment of the relevant Executive at the vesting date.
The performance conditions will be measured for the period 1 October 2013 to 31 March 2016 (Performance Period), or 30 months.
The Board has determined that the vesting of some or all of the performance rights would be determined on the basis outlined below:
EBTDA over a 30-month Performance Period
to 31 March 2016
Performance level
At or above Target
Greater than or equal to 18% CAGR
Between Threshold and Target
Between 13% and 18% CAGR
Below Threshold
Vesting level
100%
Below 13%
Pro-rata from 25% to 100%
0%
The Board considered EBTDA to be an appropriate hurdle as one that best aligned the interest of shareholders with those of the Executives.
176,250 performance rights were issued to the previous CEO, Neil Helm, and 360,325 (KMPs 253,000) performance rights were issued to
Executives and several other select employees on 26 February 2014. These performance rights were valued using a trinomial model and
discounted for the probability of achieving performance levels and the present value of dividends that will not be received by employees during
the vesting period. They were issued at a nil exercise price with a 32-month vesting period. The vesting date is 7 June 2016.
The Board has determined that EBTDA over the 30-month performance period from 1 October 2013 to 31 March 2016 was 13.41% and therefore
31.2% of the performance rights will vest on 7 June 2016.
See Section 6 for further detail. The details of these performance rights were also outlined in the prospectus.
5. GROUP PERFORMANCE
As the Company only listed on 11 October 2013, it is not possible to present five years of financial company performance data. The Group’s
2014‑2016 annual financial performance measures are listed below. The financial measures for the Group for the period 1 April 2013 to
11 October 2013 are based on the results of OzForex Limited (formerly OzForex Pty Limited), as the Group’s financial results have been
prepared as a continuation of the OzForex Limited consolidated group.

7. NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR DISCLOSURES
FEE FRAMEWORK
The Board seeks to set fees for the Non-Executive Directors that reflect the demands which are made on and the responsibilities of the Directors,
and at a level which will attract and retain directors of the highest quality.
The Non-Executive Director fees are based on the findings of a benchmarking exercise undertaken by KPMG prior to the listing which reviewed
Board remuneration relative to peer and comparable sized companies.
Going forward, Non-Executive Directors’ fees will be reviewed from time to time and they may seek the advice of external remuneration advisers
for this purpose. There were no changes in fees during the year.
FEE POOL
The maximum total of all fees payable to all Non-Executive Directors was set at $1,000,000 per annum, prior to listing. To preserve independence,
Non‑Executive Directors do not receive any equity as part of their remuneration and do not receive any performance-related compensation.
Non‑Executive Directors receive superannuation contributions where required by Superannuation Guarantee legislation.

9. SECURITIES TRADING POLICY
All Directors and employees are required to comply with the Group’s Securities Trading Policy in undertaking any trading in the Company’s
shares and may not trade if they are in possession of any inside information. Directors and employees can only trade during the specified
trading windows immediately following the release of the half year and full year results and the annual meeting. In addition, Directors and
certain restricted employees may only trade during the trading windows with prior written clearance as set out in the Policy. The Policy prohibits
employees who participate in any equity-based plan from entering into any transaction in relation to unvested securities which would have the
effect of limiting the economic risk of an unvested security.
10. OUTLOOK
The Group will continue to review and adjust its reward mechanisms annually, as required to ensure that its long-term growth aspirations are met.
In particular, a new Executive remuneration structure is being implemented for the 2017 financial year, which has been specifically structured to
ensure close alignment of Executives to the delivery of the Accelerate Strategy and the long-term creation of shareholder value.
Further details about the new Executive remuneration structure will be provided in the 2017 annual report.
This report is made in accordance with a resolution of the Directors.
