  • ☒ This URL on our website:

https://www.immutep.com/about-us/corporate-governance.html

The Corporate Governance Statement is accurate and up to date as at 31 August 2022 and has been approved by the board.

The annexure includes a key to where our corporate governance disclosures can be located.[3]

Date: 21 October 2022

Name of authorised officer authorising lodgement: Deanne Miller, Company Secretary

1 “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.

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 Listing Rule 4.10.3.

Under Listing Rule 4.7.3, an entity must also lodge with ASX a completed Appendix 4G at the same time as it lodges its annual report with ASX. The Appendix 4G serves a dual purpose. It acts as a key designed to assist readers to locate the governance disclosures made by a listed entity under Listing Rule 4.10.3 and under the ASX Corporate Governance Council’s recommendations. It also acts as a verification tool for listed entities to confirm that they have met the disclosure requirements of Listing Rule 4.10.3.

The Appendix 4G is not a substitute for, and is not to be confused with, the entity's corporate governance statement. They serve different purposes and an entity must produce each of them separately.

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

3 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. See notes 4 and 5 below for further instructions on how to complete this form.

1.1 A listed entity should have and disclose
a board charter setting out:
(a) the respective roles and
responsibilities of its board and
management; and
(b) those matters expressly reserved
to the board and those delegated
to management.
Complies The Company has established a Board
Charter, which discloses the specific
responsibilities of the Board and those of
senior executives.
The Board delegates responsibility for
the
day-to-day
operations
and
administration of the Company to
Management.

1.5 A listed entity should:
(a) have and disclose a diversity
policy;
(b) through its board or a committee
of the board set measurable
objectives for achieving gender
diversity in the composition of its
board, senior executives and
workforce generally; and
(c)
disclose in relation to each
reporting period:
(1) the measurable set for that
period to achieve gender
diversity;
(2) the entity’s progress towards
achieving those objectives; and
(3) either:
(A) the respective proportions of
men and women on the board,
in senior executive positions
and across the whole
workforce (including how the
entity has defined “senior
executive” for these
purposes); or

Not Comply
1.5(c)
Complies In
Part
The Board adopted a diversity policy in
2020. At this stage, the Board believes
that the Company is not of a size and
does not have a large enough workforce
to warrant the setting of formal gender
diversity objectives. However, if the
Company is in the S&P / ASX 300 Index
at the commencement of a reporting
period, the measurable objective for
achieving gender diversity in the
composition of the Board will be to have
not less than 30% of its directors of each
gender within a specified period.
As at 30 June 2022, 66% of the
Company’s employees were female and
its Board was comprised of four
directors with three male directors and
one female director.
As at 30 June 2022, 50% of the
Company’s senior executives were
female, being 5 out of a total of 10
senior executives. “Senior executive” is
defined for these purposes as those
employees who report directly to the
CEO or who report to a direct report to
the CEO.

1.6 A listed entity should:
(a) have and disclose a process for
periodically evaluating the
performance of the board, its
committees and individual
directors; and
(b) disclose for each reporting period
whether a performance
evaluation has been undertaken
in accordance with that process
during or in respect of that
period.
Complies The Board undertakes continuing self-
assessment of its collective
performance, the performance of the
Chair and of its committees. The
assessment also considers the adequacy
of access to information and the support
provided by management. Any action
plans are documented together with
specific performance goals which are
agreed for the coming year. The Chair
undertakes assessments of the
performance of individual directors by
meeting privately with each director to
discuss this assessment during each
reporting period.
The Chair undertook an informal annual
performance evaluation of the Board
during the reporting period.

evaluating the performance of its
senior executives at least once
every reporting period; and
(b) disclose for each reporting period
whether a performance
evaluation has been undertaken
in accordance with that process
during or in respect of that
period.
Complies Senior Executives are subject to an
annual performance evaluation. Each
year, senior executives (including the
CEO) accept a set of performance
targets. These targets are aligned to the
Company’s overall strategy and strategic
goals. In the case of the CEO, these
targets are agreed between the CEO and
the Remuneration Committee and
approved by the full Board. The
Remuneration Committee evaluates the
CEO’s performance annually by
reference to those targets. In the case
of other senior executives, the targets
are set by the CEO and their
performance is reviewed annually
against these targets by the CEO.
A performance evaluation was
undertaken in respect of the reporting
period in accordance with the above
process.

PRINCIPLE 2 - STRUCTURE THE BOARD TO BE EFFECTIVE AND ADD VALUE
2.1 The board of a listed entity should:
(a) have a nomination committee
which:
(1) has at least three members, a
majority of whom are
independent directors; and
(2) is chaired by an independent
director,
and disclose:
(3) the charter of the committee;
(4) the members of the
committee; and
(5) as at the end of each reporting
period, the number of times

(b) if it does not have a nomination
committee, disclose that fact 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.
Does Not
Comply
The Board believes that the Company is
not of size, nor are its financial affairs of
such complexity, to justify the
establishment of a separate Nomination
Committee of the Board of Directors as
recommended by the ASX Corporate
Governance Council. Under the Board
Charter, all matters which might be
properly dealt with by a Nomination
Committee are (in the absence of a
separate Nomination Committee)
considered by the full Board of
Directors.
The Board periodically considers the
issue of Board succession and also
assesses its composition regularly to
ensure that it has the skills, knowledge,
experience, independence and diversity
to enable it to discharge its duties and
responsibilities effectively.
2.2 A listed entity should have and disclose
a board skills matrix setting out the mix
of skills and diversity that the board
currently has or is looking to achieve in
its membership.
Complies The skills of each Board member are
disclosed on the Company’s website and
in the Company’s Annual Report for
each year.

and diversity the Board of directors is
looking to achieve.

2.4 A majority of the board of a listed
entity should be independent
directors.
Complies The Board recognises the value of non-
executive directors bringing a variety of
perspectives to the Board’s
consideration of strategic, risk and
performance matters. In recognition of
the importance of independent views
and the Board’s role in supervising the
activities of management, the Board has
determined that the majority of the
Board should be independent of
management. The Board considers that
3 of the 4 current Directors are
independent.
All directors are required to exercise
independent judgement, and to review
and constructively challenge the
performance and recommendations of
management.
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.
Complies The Chair is an independent non-
executive director and the roles of
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer are
not exercised by the same individual.
2.6 A listed entity should have a program
for inducting new directors and for
periodically reviewing whether there is
a need for existing directors to
undertake professional development
to maintain the skills and knowledge
needed to perform their role as
directors effectively.
Complies New directors undergo an induction
process in which they are given a full
briefing on the Company and the
Company is committed to continuing
development of its Directors and
executives.
For details on the induction of new
directors and the objectives of the
Company for continuing development of
directors, please refer to the Board

is disclosed in the Annual Report of the
Company.
The Company manages its exposure to
economic risk by having a sound system
of control and accountability systems to
ensure the Company is progressing
towards goals set by the board. These
controls are reviewed annually with the
input of the Company’s auditors.
The Audit Risk & Compliance Committee
is responsible for reviewing at least
annually
the
effectiveness
of
the
Company’s
risk
management
and
internal control systems and make
relevant recommendations to the Board.
In discharging its duties, the Committee
has unrestricted access to all staff and to
the Company’s auditors, both internal
and external, to seek information and
explanations from them. The Committee
proactively makes recommendations to
the Board in relation to the outputs of the
financial
reporting
and
disclosure
processes and with respect to risk
management and internal control.
The Board retains the overall Risk
Management function. The Board is of
the view that:

the Company does not have any
material exposure to
environmental risk. As it is not
at the stage of commercial
manufacture, its activities are
unlikely to adversely affect the
natural environment, and are
not materially affected by
adverse environmental events.

Company’s activities mean that
it is highly unlikely that there
are modern slavery practices or
corrupt conduct in its supply
chain. The Company’s activities
have not been materially
adversely affected by the Covid-
19 pandemic.
Therefore, the Board currently has no
formal policies in place to manage such
risks.
However, the Company will monitor
exposure to such risks and implement
appropriate policies when required.
