Ivan Tatkovich ASX Listings Compliance

Dear Ivan,

Re: Appendix 3Y – Change of Director’s Interest Notice

The Company wishes to notify the ASX that it inadvertently neglected to lodge an Appendix 3Y for a director upon the completion of an on-market trade on 24 December 2020.

We now enclose the Appendix 3Y for lodgement and have outlined below an explantion on why it has been lodged late.

1. Explanation as to why was the Director’s Notice was lodged late

The failure to lodge the Appendix 3Y in this instance was an administrative oversight during the Christmas and New year period.

2. Company arrangements in place with directors to ensure that it is able to meet its disclosure obligations under listing rule 3.19A.

• (a) Each director is informed of ASX disclosure requirements upon their appointment.

• (b) The Company has entered into agreements with each of its directors, which places an obligation on the directors to notify the Company of interests and any changes thereto so that the ASX Appendices can be lodged. Notification of any changes in a director’s direct or indirect interest in Company securities is also required under the Company’s market disclosure policy.

• (c) Standing items on the agenda of board meetings are director’s shareholding register, director’s interest register and trading window; and

• (d) Any director wishing to trade in the Companys securities must first obtain the consent to do so from the Chairman and Company Secretary in accordance with the Company’s security trading policy. Where approved, the director must continue to comply with other requirements set out in that policy in connection with the dealing.

3. Additional Steps the Company intends to take to ensure compliance with Listing Rules 3.19B

The Company considers that the current arrangements as outlined aove are adequate and notes that the late lodgement of the abovementioned Appendix 3Y was a result of an inadvertent oversight.

Yours sincerely,
