other officers of the Company. The Nomination and Remuneration Committee evaluates the performance of senior
executives.
Please also refer the Board Charter (available via the Company’s website,
http://www.corporate.topbetta.com.au/corporate-governance).

provide security holders with all material information in its

the Board have the benefit of qualified and experienced independent directors. The Company has also developed a

The Diversity Policy requires the Board to establish measurable objectives for achieving gender diversity within the

Whilst meritocracy must be the overriding guiding principle, the Board has implemented a diversity policy that seeks to
align the Company’s recruitment, remuneration and management systems with the commitment to develop a workplace
culture that values and strives to achieve diversity in its workforce and on its Board.
The Board believes that the Company is not presently of a size or complexity which justifies the need to set measurable
objectives for achieving diversity, however, the Board believes that its current initiatives in accordance with the

and women:

and the processes it employs to address board succession
issues and to ensure that the board has the appropriate
balance of skills, knowledge, experience, independence and
diversity to enable it to discharge its duties and
responsibilities effectively.
Partially The Company has established the Nomination and Remuneration Committee, and adopted the Nomination and
Remuneration Committee Charter and Selection and Appointment of Directors Policy, for the purpose of addressing

• Mr Matthew Cain (Non-executive non-independent Director).
While the Nomination and Remuneration Committee is chaired by an independent director, it does not comprise a
majority of independent directors.
The Board believes that the Company is not presently of a size or complexity which justifies the appointment of
additional independent directors to meet the independence requirement of this Recommendation 2.1.
During the reporting period ending 30 June 2017, the Nomination and Remuneration Committee met on 6 occasions, of
which each member attended all 6 meetings.

Company which are in addition to the Directors’ services as non-executive Directors of the Company.
The non-interested Directors of the Company considered these additional relationships and believed that the scope of
these arrangements will not affect Messers Cain and Dulhunty’s ability to bring an independent judgment to Board
matters or otherwise affect their duties as non-executive Directors of the Company.
Messers Cain and Dulhunty were appointed as Directors on 6 October 2015.
Further, the Board believes that the Company is not presently of a size or complexity which justifies the appointment of

directors.

executive director (Mr Nick Chan, Chair), two non-independent non-executive directors (Messers Dulhunty and Cain)

The Board believes that the Company is not presently of a size or complexity which justifies the appointment of
additional independent directors to meet the independence requirement of this Recommendation 2.4.
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.
