Recommendation 8.2 A listed entity should separately disclose its policies and practices regarding the remuneration of non-executive Directors and the remuneration of executive Directors and other senior executives.	YES	The Company’s Remuneration Committee Charter requires the Board to disclose its policies and practices regarding the remuneration of Directors and senior executives. This is disclosed in the Remuneration Report contained in the Company’s Annual Report available on the Company’s website at www.aml3d.com/investors.
Recommendation 8.3 A listed entity which has an equity-based remuneration scheme should: (a) have a policy on whether participants are permitted to enter into transactions (whether through the use of derivatives or otherwise) which limit the economic risk of participating in the scheme; and (b) disclose that policy or a summary of it.	No	(a) The Company has two equity-based remuneration schemes in place, the Concessional Incentive Option Plan and the Performance Rights and Options Plan. While the Company’s Securities Trading Policy prohibits key management personnel from engaging in short term trading of the Company’s securities (except for the exercise of options where the shares will be sold shortly thereafter), the Company does not currently have a formal policy in place on whether participants are permitted to enter into transactions (whether through the use of derivatives or otherwise) which limit the economic risk of participating in the scheme. The Board does not consider it necessary to adopt a formal policy on this at this stage in light of the small number of participants in the Company’s equity based remuneration schemes. (b) If the Board determines that such a policy is necessary and appropriate, a copy of the policy will be provided on the Company’s website.
