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.

2.4 Independence of directors

The Board recognises the importance of ensuring that directors are free from interests and relationships that might, or might reasonably be perceived to, materially influence a director’s capacity to bring an independent judgement to bear on issues before the Board and to act in the best interests of Iluka and its shareholders generally.

Accordingly, the Board has adopted guidelines, set out in the Board Charter, which are used to determine the independence of directors and are based on the definition of independence listed in Box 2.3 of the ASX Principles.

In accordance with these guidelines, the Board generally considers a director to be independent if he or she is not a member of management and:

is not a substantial shareholder of Iluka or an officer of, or otherwise associated with, a substantial shareholder of Iluka;
is not employed, or been previously employed, in an executive capacity by Iluka or another group member, or where they were previously employed in such a

Page 6 of 23

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT 2015

==> picture [65 x 47] intentionally omitted <==

capacity, there has been a period of at least three years between ceasing such employment and serving on the Board;

within the last three years has not been a partner, director or senior employee of a provider of material professional services;
is not in a material business relationship (e.g. as a supplier or customer) of Iluka or another group member, or an officer of or otherwise associated with someone with such a relationship;
has no material contractual relationship with Iluka or another group member other than as a director of Iluka;
does not have close family times with any person who falls within any of the categories described above;
has not served on the Board for a period that his or her independence may have been compromised; and
is free from any interest and any business or other relationship which could, or could reasonably be perceived to, materially interfere with the director’s ability to act in the best interests of Iluka.

The Board considers the materiality of a director’s interests, position, association or relationship on a case by case basis. The Board also has regard to length of tenure when assessing whether a director is, or continues to be, independent. The Board is satisfied that the length of tenure of its current directors does not call into question their independence.

Directors also have an ongoing responsibility to disclose any actual or potential transactions or interests that may create a conflict of interest. They may also be required to take steps to remove any conflict of interest. If a director cannot or will not remove a conflict of interest, then the director must be absent from the room when discussion and/or voting occurs on matters to which the conflict relates.

The Board has reviewed the independence of its directors and considers that the Chairman and each non-executive director are independent.

2.5 Access to independent advice

Under the Board Charter, directors may seek independent professional advice at Iluka’s expense on any matter connected with the discharge of their responsibilities with the prior written approval of the Chairman.

2.6 Access to Board materials and information

Under the Deed of Indemnity, Insurance and Access, directors have access to inspect the company’s records which have been prepared during or relate to the director’s tenure or discharge of duties as a director in respect of the company.

2.7 Director selection and succession planning

The Board renewal process is overseen by the Nominations Committee and involves regularly reviewing the composition of the Board to ensure that the directors have an appropriate mix of skills, expertise, experience and backgrounds relevant to the management of Iluka.

The Board Charter sets out the overarching principles regarding director selection and succession planning. The Nominations Committee Charter sets out the key nomination planning principles of the committee which is responsible for leading the process of Board appointments. The diagram below demonstrates the director selection and succession planning principles and responsibilities.

==> picture [430 x 253] intentionally omitted <==

When a director candidate stands for election or re-election at a meeting of shareholders, Iluka provides shareholders with all material information in its possession regarding the director in the relevant Notice of Meeting.

2.8 Director induction and continuing education

All new directors are appointed through a written agreement with Iluka that sets out their duties, rights and responsibilities. In addition, the Nominations Committee is responsible for ensuring that new directors are provided with a comprehensive induction programme (including business briefings by management and site visits).

The Board encourages directors to continue their education and maintain the skills required to discharge their duties by providing professional development opportunities. Iluka meets all reasonable costs of continuing director education.

3 Board committees

Relevant policies and charters:  Audit and Risk Committee Charter  Nominations Committee Charter  People and Performance Committee Charter

In line with a recommendation from an external review of the Board and each committee held in late 2014, the Board separated the responsibilities of the Remuneration and Nominations Committee into two separate standalone committees: the Nominations Committee; and the People and Performance Committee, both formed effective 16 February 2015, to give additional focus to their respective responsibilities.

The Board now has three committees: the Audit and Risk Committee; Nominations Committee; and People and Performance Committee, to assist with the effective discharge of its duties. Each committee operates under a specific charter approved by the Board which details their respective roles, duties and membership requirements.

The committees comprise only independent, non-executive directors. In addition, the Audit and Risk Committee and People and Performance Committee have an independent chairman who is not the Chairman of the Board.

The primary role of the committees is to make recommendations to the Board on matters set out in their respective charters. Their structure and membership are reviewed periodically.

3.1 Audit and Risk Committee

The purpose of the Audit and Risk Committee is to assist the Board to protect the interests of Iluka’s shareholders and stakeholders by overseeing on behalf of the Board:

the integrity of financial reporting;
the adequacy of the control environment and the processes for identifying an managing risk;
the internal and external audit functions;
treasury and taxation practices; and
compliance with applicable legal and regulatory requirements and internal codes of conduct, as requested by the Board.

During the year, the Audit and Risk Committee conducted reviews of the effectiveness of the Group’s systems of risk management and internal controls for 2015 and up to the date of the Annual Report in accordance with the ASX Principles. These reviews

covered financial, operational, and compliance controls and risk assessment. During the year, management presented an assessment of the material business risks facing the company and the level of the effectiveness of risk management over the material business risks.

may be engaged to assist with the review of the Board, its committees and individual directors.

In 2015, the Board continued with improvement initiatives identified from the 2014 externally facilitated Board performance review, one of which was the separation of the Remuneration and Nominations Committee into two separate standalone committees.

The Board, Audit and Risk Committee and People and Performance Committee also conduct an annual self-assessment of their performance, which serves to identify strengths, weaknesses and areas for improvement. The completed assessments are taken into account by the Board and each respective committee in determining performance improvements for the following year.

In accordance with this process, the Board evaluated the performance of its directors, itself and each committee in December 2015.

The People and Performance Committee also assists the Board with evaluating the performance of the Managing Director. The People and Performance Committee provides feedback regarding the Managing Director’s performance in relation to key performance measures to the Chairman of the Board, who is responsible for conducting the Managing Director’s performance review.

Twice yearly, the Managing Director undertakes a review of the performance of each senior executive against individual objectives and deliverables linked to a corporate plan that were agreed at the beginning of the performance period. These personal objectives relate to key areas of performance over which the individual has accountability and influence. The process for conducting these reviews is covered on pages 31 to 34 of the Annual Report. The performance reviews of the Managing Director and senior executives were conducted in August and at the end of the performance period in accordance with this process.

4.2 Director and executive remuneration

The People and Performance Committee obtain independent remuneration benchmarking information for comparative purposes. Salary reviews and short-term incentives are determined by assessing performance against both individual performance and profitability and sustainability performance targets. Long-term incentives vest subject to Return on Equity and Total Shareholder Return performance compared with that of an industry peer group. In 2015, the People and Performance Committee conducted those reviews in accordance with disclosed processes.

All senior executives are employed by the Company under written employment contracts.

6.3 Continuous disclosure and communications with shareholders

Iluka is committed to ensuring that shareholders and the market are kept fully and regularly informed of information and major developments concerning Iluka. To achieve this, Iluka has developed a Continuous Disclosure and Market Communications Policy which establishes procedures to ensure that directors and management fulfil their obligations under the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules in relation to the timely disclosure of price-sensitive information.

The policy establishes a Disclosure Committee comprising the Company Secretary, Chief Financial Officer and the General Manager Investor Relations, which reports to the Managing Director.

The Disclosure Committee is responsible for:

reviewing information, including consulting with Iluka management, personnel and external advisers to determine if disclosure is required;
ensuring the Managing Director is advised of and approves all information to be disclosed to the market; and
ensuring that the Board is kept fully informed of the Disclosure Committee’s determinations and all information subsequently disclosed to the market.

The Company Secretary is convenor of the Disclosure Committee and has primary responsibility for administration of the policy. The Company Secretary’s responsibilities also include monitoring compliance with Iluka’s disclosure obligations and managing all communications with the ASX.

Iluka communicates with shareholders through releases to the ASX, Iluka’s website, information distributed direct to shareholders and the general meetings of shareholders. To ensure that security holders have the opportunity to participate at meetings of members:

at the Annual General Meeting, shareholders elect the directors and have the opportunity to express their views, ask questions about company business and vote on items of business for resolution by shareholders; and
PricewaterhouseCoopers, Iluka’s external auditor, attends each Annual General Meeting and is available to answer shareholder questions about the conduct of the audit and the preparation and content of the audit report.

Iluka has also established an investor relations programme to facilitate effective twoway communication with investors. In addition to providing information on the Iluka website about Iluka and its governance, this programme includes an “Investor Relations Guide” as well as an Investor Relations App, and comprehensive information (including briefing papers and presentations on Iluka’s website) which is designed for those wishing to gain an understanding of the main elements of Iluka, its assets, industry context and basis for shareholder value generation. In particular, information available includes:

Iluka’s investment proposition, company and shareholder alignment and capital management framework;
company outline, resource base and operations;
mineral sands industry overview;
Iluka’s sales and marketing strategy and customer base;
historical financials and company presentations;
latest ASX releases; and
calendar of events.

Shareholders are also able to send and receive communications to/from Iluka and its registry, Computershare Investor Services Pty Limited electronically. In addition, Iluka has webcast/teleconference facilities associated with full and half year results and any major business presentations. Transcripts of results presentations and major business presentations are placed on the website as soon as practicable after the conclusion of such events.

6.4 Dealing in shares

The Board believes it is in the best interests of shareholders for directors and employees to own shares in Iluka, subject to strict controls and guidelines on share trading.

Iluka has in place a Securities Trading Policy which applies to Iluka’s directors and employees (and their “connected persons”). The policy prohibits directors and employees from trading in Iluka’s securities if they are in possession of price-sensitive information which is not generally available to the market. It also prohibits dealings by directors and certain employees during defined “closed periods” except where clearance has been granted for exceptional circumstances or the dealing falls within an excluded category under the policy.

Closed periods under the policy include:

the end of the financial year; and
the end of a half financial year,

to the time when two business days have elapsed after the release of the annual or half yearly results respectively. Outside of these closed periods and prior to any proposed trade, directors and certain employees must seek approval prior to trading in Iluka’s securities.

Directors and employees are also restricted from engaging in short-term trading of Iluka’s securities and from hedging their securities unless those securities have fully vested and are no longer subject to restrictions. Key management personnel must not at any time enter into a transaction that involves using Iluka’s securities as collateral in any financial transaction, including margin lending arrangements.
