4 questions lodged at 2025 Hipages hybrid AGM
November 7, 2025
Below is the text of the 4 written questions submitted at the 35 minute Hipages (HPG) 10am virtual AGM Melb time on November 5, 2025 via Link/MUFG platform. Market cap $178m after reasonable year. See notice of meeting and voting results with no protest votes. The proxies were not disclosed early in the formal addresses. Traded 385 units for a $9 profit leading into the AGM. Was the only shareholder asking questions.
Q1. Did any of the proxy advisers cover us this year and did any recommend a vote against any of today's resolutions, including this remuneration report item? If so, what reasons did they give and did this translate into any material protest votes? Please don't say they are confidential. It is standard for companies to be across this detail on the voting recommendations and inform shareholders where relevant and I could show you examples of more than 50 chairs responding positively to this question.
Answer: The chair... Watch video of exchange via Twitter.
Q2. How many full time equivalent staff do we currently have and is this likely to fall over the coming 12 months with the rapid roll out of AI? Which parts of our business and operations are the most prospective for AI productivity gains and how energetically are we embracing those opportunities?

Q3. Could the CEO summarise his past LTI grants as to whether they have vested or lapsed. Also, has he ever sold any ordinary shares in the company or bought any on market without relying on an incentive scheme to build his equity position in the company? Please don't say look it up in the annual report and through ASX announcements. It's complicated and the CEO could factually summarise the situation in 60 seconds
Answer: The chair... Watch video of exchange via Twitter.
Q4. You don't normally see chairs getting share allocations via an AGM vote. Why are we doing this and has there been any protest vote?
Answer: The chair... Watch video of exchange via Twitter.
