SCENTRE GROUP2025 Notice of Meeting

A message from

our Chair

On behalf of my fellow Board members, I am pleased to invite you to attend the 2025 Annual General Meeting (AGM) of Scentre Group to be held on Wednesday,

9 April 2025 commencing at 10.00am AEST.

Our AGM is an important date in our corporate calendar and an opportunity for securityholders to hear about Scentre Group's business.

You can attend the meeting in person at the Wesley Conference Centre in Sydney, or participate online.

The business of the meeting is to consider the Group's 2024 Financial Report, Directors' Report and Auditor's Report as well as the election and re-election of Directors.

  1. am standing for re-election together with Catherine Brenner and Michael Ihlein. Craig Mitchell, who was appointed as a non-executive Director on 14 October 2024, will also stand for election.

We also have remuneration related resolutions being the adoption of the Group's 2024 Remuneration Report and the approval of grants of performance rights to our Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Elliott Rusanow.

The Board was concerned that 27.76 per cent of securityholders did not support our 2023 Remuneration Report. Our 2024 Remuneration Report (considered at item 6) sets out the steps the Board has taken to address securityholder concerns. The resolution at item 8 is a "conditional resolution". That is, it will only be put to the meeting if at least 25 per cent of the votes validly cast on item 6 are voted against the resolution.

Information on how to take part in the AGM is outlined in this Notice of Meeting.

Thank you for your support and we look forward to welcoming you to the AGM.

Craig Mitchell, being a Director appointed by the Board on 14 October 2024, will stand for election. Appropriate background checks were completed before Mr Mitchell was appointed to the Board and no areas of concern were identified in such checks.

The Board undertakes an annual review of its performance. The Board considers the results of this review in determining its endorsement of the Directors standing

for election or re-election.

Details of the qualifications and experience of each Director standing for re-election or election are set out below.

The Board has determined that each of the Directors standing for re-election or election are independent non-executive Directors.
