1 “Corporate governance statement” is defined in Listing Rule 19.12 to mean the statement referred to in Listing Rule 4.10.3 which discloses the extent to which an entity has followed the recommendations set by the ASX Corporate Governance Council during a particular reporting period.

Listing Rule 4.10.3 requires an entity that is included in the official list as an ASX Listing to include in its annual report either a corporate governance statement that meets the requirements of that rule or the URL of the page on its website where such a statement is located. The corporate governance statement must disclose the extent to which the entity has followed the recommendations set by the ASX Corporate Governance Council during the reporting period. If the entity has not followed a recommendation for any part of the reporting period, its corporate governance statement must separately identify that recommendation and the period during which it was not followed and state its reasons for not following the recommendation and what (if any) alternative governance practices it adopted in lieu of the recommendation during that period.

Under Listing Rule 4.7.4, if an entity chooses to include its corporate governance statement on its website rather than in its annual report, it must lodge a copy of the corporate governance statement with ASX at the same time as it lodges its annual report with ASX. The corporate governance statement must be current as at the effective date specified in that statement for the purposes of Listing Rule 4.10.3.

Under Listing Rule 4.7.3, an entity must also lodge with ASX a completed Appendix 4G at the same time as it lodges its annual report with ASX. The Appendix 4G serves a dual purpose. It acts as a key designed to assist readers to locate the governance disclosures made by a listed entity under Listing Rule 4.10.3 and under the ASX Corporate Governance Council’s recommendations. It also acts as a verification tool for listed entities to confirm that they have met the disclosure requirements of Listing Rule 4.10.3.

The Appendix 4G is not a substitute for, and is not to be confused with, the entity's corporate governance statement. They serve different purposes and an entity must produce each of them separately.

2 Tick whichever option is correct and then complete the page number(s) of the annual report, or the URL of the web page, where your corporate governance statement can be found. You can, if you wish, delete the option which is not applicable.

3 Throughout this form, where you are given two or more options to select, you can, if you wish, delete any option which is not applicable and just retain the option that is applicable. If you select an option that includes “OR” at the end of the selection and you delete the other options, you can also, if you wish, delete the “OR” at the end of the selection. See notes 4 and 5 below for further instructions on how to complete this form.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT

LAY SOLID FOUNDATIONS FOR 1. MANAGEMENT AND OVERSIGHT

The Board acknowledges its role and responsibility in building and maintaining Shareholder value in the short and longer-term and ensuring the Company is appropriately managed while protecting the assets and reputation of the Company.

Roles and responsibilities reserved for the Board and those delegated to the Group Chief Executive Officer (Group CEO) are set out in the Company’s Board Charter.

The Board is responsible for overseeing those matters delegated to the Audit and Risk Committee (ARC) and the People, Culture, Remuneration and Nomination Committee (PCRNC), which includes the broader aspects of People, Culture and Nomination.

The Board Charter provides for the delegation of authority and power to the Group CEO, within levels of authority agreed from time to time by the Board.

The Group CEO’s role includes responsibility for the overall management and operation of the business in line with strategic objectives and for instilling the Company’s core values throughout the business. The appointment of Carl Bizon, as Group CEO on 1 February 2021 reinforced the importance of these responsibilities.

With the assistance of the PCRNC, the Board has the ultimate responsibility for the selection and appointment of Directors, including, engaging external consultants, as required. In doing so, the Board considers the collective skills, knowledge, experience, expertise and diversity of the Board in line with existing and the emerging requirements of the business.

The appointment and re-election of Directors and Senior Management includes undertaking appropriate background and other relevant checks. All material information relevant to Shareholders in relation to the re-election of Directors, as appropriate, will be included in the 2021 Notice of Annual General Meeting.

Terms and conditions of appointment including responsibilities and obligations of Non-Executive Directors are set out in their respective letters of appointment. Terms and conditions of appointment including roles, responsibilities and obligations of Senior Management are included in their respective employment contracts.

The Board Charter provides that the Company Secretary is accountable to the Board through the Board Chair on corporate governance matters.

A copy of the Board Charter is available on the Company’s corporate website.

DIVERSITY

The Company is committed to and recognises the benefits gained from diversity throughout the business including employee attraction and retention, creating a more engaged workforce and accessing different and broader perspectives and ideas.

Diversity encompasses gender, age, ethnicity, cultural background, impairment and disability, sexual orientation, educational background and religious, political or other beliefs. The Group encompasses a diverse and multicultural workforce. Policies supporting diversity include flexible rostering and working arrangements which particularly support returning to work parents, parental leave and equal pay and employment opportunities.

Further initiatives to promote gender diversity include participating in the annual Women in Collision awards (these annual awards recognise the outstanding contribution of women in the collision industry). During the year, the Group employed its first female dismantler – a significant milestone. The Group also supports cultural diverse initiatives such as the annual ‘Taste of Harmony’ event.

INDEPENDENCE OF DIRECTORS

The Board considers thresholds of materiality for the purpose of determining independence on a case-bycase basis. Factors considered in determining the independence status of Directors are detailed in the Board Charter, which is available on the Company’s corporate website.

To broaden the skill base and increase the level of Independence on the Board, as referred to above, during the year the Board appointed two new Independent Non-Executive Directors.

The Board has determined that all the Non-Executive Directors are Independent based on their independent conduct and judgement, deliberation, and decision-making processes that they contribute to the Board.

Carl Bizon transitioned to Group CEO and Executive Director during the year and is no longer independent.

The Board has measures in place to promote and maintain independent judgement which include:

  • Directors must act in the best interests of the Company at all times

  • A standard item on each Board Meeting agenda requires Directors to declare any interests or conflicts of interest

  • Material conflicts of interests are managed appropriately including via a conflict of interest and related party transaction policy which was implemented in March 2020. The policy prohibits Directors from earning success and other incentive fees from the provision of professional advisory or consulting services provided to the Company.

A copy of the Conflicts of Interest and Related Party Transactions Policy is available on the Company’s Corporate website.

Additional information including experience of Directors, Directors in office at the date of this statement and date of appointment of each Director, is set out in the Directors’ Report of the Company’s Annual Report.

Newly appointed Directors undergo induction in the form of meetings with the Board, the Group CEO and Senior Management (as relevant). Management keeps the Board informed in relation to the regulatory environment as it relates to the business of the Company.
