4. Departures from Corporate Governance Principles

The Company's departures from the ASX Recommendations are set out in

ASX Recommendation Explanation for departure
Recommendation 2.4
A majority of the
board of a listed
entity should be
Independent
Directors.
The Board considers that Mr Kanji and Mr Kowal are not
Independent Directors. Accordingly, the Company does
not satisfy recommendation 2.4. However, the Company
is not at the size or complexity to warrant the
appointment of an additional Independent Director.
Recommendation 2.5
The chair of the
board of a listed
entity should be an
Independent Director
and, in particular,
should not be the
same person as the
CEO of the entity.
The Board has appointed Mr Kanji as the Non-
Independent Chairman of the Board. Accordingly, the
Company does not satisfy recommendation 2.5. However,
the Board considers Mr Kanji to be the most
appropriate person to act as the Chairman of the Board
given his experience and knowledge of the Company and
industry.
