The Corporate Governance Statement is accurate and up to date as at 31.08.2017 and has been approved by the board.

The annexure includes a key to where our corporate governance disclosures can be located.

Date: 11 September 2017 Name of Director or Secretary authorising lodgement: James Lonie

1 Under Listing Rule 4.7.3, an entity must lodge with ASX a completed Appendix 4G at the same time as it lodges its annual report with ASX. 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 rule 4.10.3.

2 “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.

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

Corporate Governance Statement of Centuria Capital Group

Centuria Capital Group ( Group ) has a stapled structure in which each share in Centuria Capital Limited ACN 095 454 336 ( Company ) is stapled to a unit in Centuria Capital Fund ARSN 613 856 358 ( Fund ). Centuria Funds Management Limited ACN 607 153 588 ( CFML ) is the responsible entity of the Fund.

As both the Company and the Fund are listed separately on the Australian Securities Exchange ( ASX ), each of the Company and CFML in its capacity as responsible entity for the Fund are required to prepare a corporate governance statement.

The board of directors of the Company is identical to the board of directors of CFML.

The various board committees in respect of the Company also exist in respect of the Fund. The membership of these committees is the same for both of the Company and the Fund. Each board committee has adopted a board charter which applies to the committee acting in respect of the Company or the Fund.

For these reasons, the corporate governance arrangements created for the Company are very similar to those which have been instituted for the Fund. This corporate governance statement serves as the corporate governance statement for both the Company and the Fund (i.e. for the Group as a whole). Where there is a difference between the corporate governance arrangements that apply to the Fund as opposed to the Company, this has been identified below.

A reference to a Director, Board or Committee within this corporate governance statement is a reference to that body acting or operating with respect to either or both of the Company and Centuria Funds Management Limited in its capacity as responsible entity for the Fund as the context requires.

A reference to a securityholder is a reference to a holder of stapled securities in the Group.

The corporate governance statement is accurate and up to date as at 11 September 2017 and has been approved by the board.

have a diversity policy which includes requirements for the
board or a relevant committee of the board to set
measurable objectives for achieving gender diversity and to
assess annually both the objectives and the entity’s progress
in achieving them;

Amendments to the ASX Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations have focused the Board’s attention on formalising into policy
the Group’s belief that a diverse workforce with equality of opportunity will achieve strong business results. Whilst ultimately all new
appointments, whether of a Director or an employee, will be made on the basis of merit, meeting the targets below will provide evidence of the
effectiveness of the Group's policy.

few years as Directors and senior executive positions become available and appropriately qualified candidates come forward:

at least 30% of the Group’s employees and consultants be women;

at least 20% of the Group’s senior executives be women; and

at least one member of the Board be a woman.
The table below details the objectives set by the Group during the reporting period for gender diversity and the Group’s performance against
these objectives:
Objective

have and disclose a process for periodically evaluating the
performance of the board, its committees and individual
directors; and
(b)
disclose, in relation to each reporting period, whether a
performance evaluation was undertaken in the reporting
period in accordance with that process.
The Group has a policy to review and assess the performance of its Board, Committees and Directors each financial year. A performance
review of the Board, its Committees and Directors was commenced in the 2016/17 financial year in accordance with the Group's policy. The
Board performance review process is designed to:

improve the effectiveness of the Board;

identify inefficiencies or deficiencies of the Board;

clarify the composition of the Board and the roles of Directors;

encourage a collaborative team environment; and

ensure the continued corporate performance of the Group.
The review included assessing:

the Board's performance relative to achieving its obligations and meeting its responsibilities;

the Board's success in setting strategies of the Board and the business;

the Board's operation, including communication processes and its conduct of Board meetings and discussions;

the Board's management of risks;

the Chairman's performance (by way of a non-executive Director after canvassing the views of other Directors);

the performance of relevant Board committees; and

appropriate succession planning.
The review process was conducted by way of questionnaires, individual interviews with Directors and discussion of the feedback at Board
meetings.
The Group values continuing education for Directors in order to update and enhance their knowledge and hence ensure optimal performance.
Clause 8 of the Board Charter gives Directors the authority to seek professional advice as considered necessary in the performance of their
duties at the Group's expense. The Directors also have full access to the company secretary to assist them in carrying out their roles.

(a)
have and disclose a process for periodically evaluating the
performance of its senior executives; and
(b)
disclose, in relation to each reporting period, whether a

against pre-determined criteria including Key Performance Indicators relating to the Group's performance as determined in the Group’s Strategic
Plan.
Performance reviews of senior executives are carried out by the CEO who reports the findings to the Nomination and Remuneration Committee.
The CEO conducts the reviews each year by comparing performance against agreed measures, evaluating any efficiencies or improvements
during the course of the year and deciding upon targets for the next year.
A performance evaluation of all senior executives, including for the CEO, was undertaken in the 2016/17 financial year.

which each Director sits is also provided at the Annexure to Appendix 4G. The Directors seek to ensure the Board consists of Directors with an
appropriate range of experience, skills, knowledge and vision to enable it to operate the Group’s business with excellence. The number of
Directors is limited by the Company’s constitution to a minimum of 5 and a maximum of 13. The Board considers that the ideal size is 5 to 8
Directors.

7.2 The board or a committee of the board should:
(a)
review the entity’s risk management framework at least
annually to satisfy itself that it continues to be sound; and
(b)
disclose, in relation to each reporting period, whether such
a review has taken place.
The Group's Board has established a Risk Management Framework for the Group, a summary of which can be viewed under the Corporate
Governance page of our website. Risk management is an integral part of the governance of the Group and is one of the main responsibilities of
the Board and senior management. The Board is ultimately responsible for approving and reviewing the Group’s Risk Management Framework.
The monitoring and management of risk on an ongoing basis is the responsibility of management as represented by the heads of the respective
business units of the Group.
At the Group, managing risk is a continuous process for both management and the Board. The Group’s comprehensive risk management
framework requires a detailed annual business risk review, which seeks to define all the major risks that could prevent or impact the Group from
achieving its objectives. This review will be completed for the 2017 financial year by October by the Board with the objective of identifying
material business risks so that they can be managed effectively.
The management of risk is continually addressed during the year at the business unit level. Periodically, a review of the effectiveness of the
Group’s risk management framework is undertaken. Combined with this is an embedded compliance culture to ensure the Group meets the
requirements of the Australian Securities and Investments Commission for conducting a financial services business and operating managed
investment schemes. A robust compliance framework has been implemented which requires the business to monitor its activities and those of
its outsourced service providers. The compliance function at the Group reports directly to the Audit, Risk Management & Compliance Committee
and the Board.
The Audit, Risk Management & Compliance Committee has the following risk management responsibilities:
• assessing risks arising from the Group’s operations and ensuring the adequacy of measures taken to moderate those risks;
• reviewing and assessing the effectiveness of the Group’s Risk Management Framework and internal control practices and ensuring
there is a continuous process for the management of significant risks throughout the Group; and
• monitoring compliance with the Group’s Risk Management Framework.
Quarterly risk management reporting is provided to the Audit, Risk Management and Compliance Committee by management.
7.3 A listed entity should disclose:
(a)
if it has an internal audit function, how the function is
structured and what role it performs; or
(b)
if it does not have an internal audit function, that fact and
the processes it employs for evaluating and continually
improving the effectiveness of its risk management and
internal control processes.
An internal audit function has been established with a focus on the Group’s control environment. The annual internal audit plan is determined
having regard to the risk profile of the business arising from the annual business risk review.
7.4 A listed entity should disclose whether it has any material
exposure to economic, environmental and social sustainability
risks and, if it does, how it manages or intends to manage those
risks.
The Group does not have direct material exposure to sustainability risks. However, subsidiary companies within the Group act as manager of
commercial and development properties that can have exposure to environmental sustainability risks, for example, meeting environmental rating
standards or remediating sites affected by environmental liabilities. These risks are managed in accordance with the Group’s risk management
framework and with the assistance of specialist professionals where required.
A summary of the Group's risk management framework is available atwww.centuria.com.au/listed-property/corporate-governance/.

• rewards to all staff but particularly executives are linked to the creation of value to securityholders;
• the criteria used to assess and reward staff include financial and non-financial measures of performance;
• the overall cost of remuneration is managed and linked to the ability of the Group to pay; and
• severance payments due to the CEO on termination are limited to pre-established contractual arrangements which do not commit the
Group to making any unjustified payments in the event of non-performance.
The remuneration policy assists the Group to achieve its business strategy and objectives. The Group recognises that, while remuneration is a
key factor in recruiting the right people, it is not the only factor. The Group’s values and its ability to provide interesting and challenging career
opportunities also play an important role.
Non-Executive Director remuneration structure
The Board has established a policy relating to the remuneration of non-executive Directors. The Group pays non-executive Directors fees at a
level which is sufficient to attract individuals with the appropriate skills, and to fairly reimburse those Directors for services provided.
Non-Executive Directors’ remuneration does not include incentive schemes or performance related payments.
Executive Director remuneration structure
Executive Directors are paid a salary commensurate with their position and responsibilities and at a level which attracts high calibre executives
with appropriate skills and experience. Executive Directors also participate in the Group’s long-term and short-term incentive plans.
Further information regarding Director and senior executive remuneration can be found in the Remuneration Report in the Annual Report.
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.
The Group has a Remuneration Policy that is applicable to Directors, senior executives and employees and that includes both monetary and
equity based remuneration as summarised in 8.2 above. It is proposed that the remuneration policy be amended to explicitly restrict participants
of equity based-remuneration from entering into transactions which limit the economic risk of participating in the scheme.

Compliance plan

As the responsible entity of the Fund, CFML must comply with all obligations set out in the Fund constitution and the Corporations Act. CFML is also subject to duties including duties to act in the best interests of securityholders, act honestly, exercise care and diligence, and treat securityholders of the same class equally. In order to facilitate compliance with the constitution and the Corporations Act, CFML has adopted the compliance plan which sets out the key processes CFML will apply in operating the Fund. You can inspect a copy of the constitution and the compliance plan at the offices of the Group at any time between 9.00am and 5.00pm (AEDT) on a business day in Sydney, New South Wales. Alternatively, a copy of the documents may be requested (to be provided free of charge), by contacting the Securityholder Relations Team by telephone on +61 2 8923 8923 or email to [email protected].

Remuneration of CFML as responsible entity

In accordance with clause 14.3 of the Fund constitution, CFML is entitled to be paid a management fee of $200,000 per annum which is calculated and accrues on a daily basis and is payable within 5 business days of the end of each month.

The management fee is fixed, regardless of the size of the Fund. Also note that as the units in the Fund are stapled to shares in the Company and that the recipient of the management fee will be CFML, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, the benefit of the management fee will be obtained by Group securityholders.

CFML may not increase the fees payable to it above the amounts set out in the Fund constitution without a special resolution of holders of securities first having varied the Fund constitution. A special resolution requires at least 75% of the votes (by value) cast on the resolution being in favour of it.

CFML is indemnified and is entitled to be reimbursed out of the assets of the Fund for all expenses incurred in relation to the proper performance of its duties or exercise of its powers. Expenses are reimbursable to CFML from the Fund's income and assets as and when incurred. Please refer to clause 14.1 of the Fund constitution for examples of the expenses for which CFML is indemnified and entitled to be reimbursed.

Conflicts

CFML recognises its responsibilities in relation to conflicts of interest and related party transactions and has a conflicts of interest policy in place that governs the way in which CFML manages such transactions or conflicts. Through the application of this policy, CFML is committed to:

  • identifying and monitoring all potential conflicts of interest;

  • avoiding conflicts of interests wherever this is the only way to properly protect securityholders’ interests;

  • taking appropriate steps to ensure the fair treatment of the Fund and all securityholders potentially impacted by the conflict; and

  • dealing in an open manner and disclosing its conflicts of interest wherever this is likely to be relevant to securityholders.
