| Principle 1 – Lay solid foundations for management and oversight A listed entity should clearly delineate the respective roles and responsibilities of its board and management and regularly review their performance. |
|||
| 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 |
Yes | The Board has adopted a charter (Board Charter) which establishes the role of the Board and its relationship with management. The Board Charter clearly articulates the division of responsibilities between the Board and management, in order to manage expectations and avoid misunderstandings about their respective roles and accountabilities. As detailed in the Board Charter, the primary role of the Board is the protection and enhancement of long-term shareholder value, and its responsibilities include the overall strategic direction of the Group, establishing goals for management and monitoring the achievement of these goals. The Board is also responsible for the overall corporate governance of Mach7. The Board Charter additionally sets out the role and responsibility of the Chairman and outlines the Board’s policy on when and how Directors may seek independent professional advice at the expense of the Company. The Board has delegated to the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer (MD&CEO) the authority and power to manage Mach7 and its businesses within levels of authority specified by the Board from time to time. The MD&CEO may sub-delegate aspects of his authority and power but remains accountable to the Board for Mach7’s performance and is required to report regularly to the Board on the progress being made by Mach7’s business units. In accordance with the Board Charter, the Board will review the Board Charter at least annually, and in doing so will continually review the division of functions between |

Yes | The Board has established and operates a Remuneration and Nomination Committee. The Remuneration and Nomination Committee’s functions and powers are formalised in a Remuneration and Nomination Committee Charter, a copy of which is available on the Website. The nomination-related function of the Remuneration and Nomination Committee is, where required, to: identify suitable candidates with appropriate skills, experience, expertise and diversity to complement the existing Board, in order for the Board to discharge its mandate effectively and to maintain the necessary mix of expertise on the Board; undertake appropriate checks on a candidate and seek confirmation from the candidate that he/she will have sufficient time to fulfil his or her responsibilities as a director; and subject to the results of such checks and confirmations, make recommendations to the Board on their appointment. Where appropriate, external consultants may be engaged to assist in searching for candidates and undertaking relevant checks. The Company provides information to shareholders about Directors seeking re- election at a general meeting to enable them to make an informed decision on whether or not to re-elect the Director, including their relevant qualifications and |

The Company will, in the case of a candidate standing for election as a Director for the first time, provide information to shareholders about the candidate to enable them to make an informed decision on whether or not to elect the candidate, including material adverse information revealed by any checks the Remuneration and Nomination Committee has performed on the candidate; details of any interest, position, association or relationship that might influence, or reasonably be perceived to influence, in a material respect the candidate’s capacity to exercise independent judgement on Board matters or to act in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders generally; the Board’s view on whether the candidate will be considered to be an independent Director; and a recommendation by the Board in respect of the election of the candidate. |

| 1.3 | A listed entity should have a written agreement with each director and senior executive setting out the terms of their appointment. |
Yes | All Directors and senior executives have entered into written agreements with the Company. Specifically, each Non-Executive Director has been given a letter of appointment which outlines terms including the Director’s duties, obligations, remuneration, expected time commitments and notification of the Company’s policies. Similarly, senior executives have a formal job description and services agreement or employment agreement with the Company describing their term of office, duties, rights and responsibilities, and entitlements on termination. |

The Company Secretary is also responsible for communications with the ASX about listing rule matters, including making disclosures to the ASX in accordance with Mach7’s Continuous Disclosure Policy. The Company Secretary supports the effectiveness of the Board by monitoring compliance with Board policies and procedures, and co-ordinating the completion and despatch of Board agendas and briefing papers.

objectives and progress in achieving them. Whilst the Company has not set formal measurable objectives for achieving gender diversity, the Company is nonetheless committed to recruiting employees from a diverse pool of qualified candidates. The Board is charged with the responsibility of undertaking an annual review to:
-
assess its policies and procedures in reference to its diversity objectives;
-
determine whether its diversity policies and procedures are and are likely to continue to be appropriate; and
-
ensure that the Company, and its policies and procedures, comply with all applicable legal requirements in respect of diversity and that such policies and procedures remain relevant and effective.
As at 30 June 2022, the Group had 94 employees including 24 (26%) women. 2 women hold senior executive roles. For the purposes of determining the number of female senior executives in the Company, the Company has defined “senior executive” as the Chief Executive Officer and all his/her direct reports. There are currently no female directors on the Board and 2 out of 8 direct reports to the Board are female (25%).

-
(b) disclose for each reporting period whether a performance evaluation has been undertaken
The Directors aim to undertake an annual process to review the performance and effectiveness of the Board and individual directors. The Company Secretary oversees this process. The review assesses, amongst other things:
-
the effectiveness of the Board in meeting the requirements of its charter;
-
whether the Board has members with the appropriate mix of skills and experience to properly perform their functions;

the contribution made by each Director at meetings and in carrying out their responsibilities as Directors generally, including preparing for meetings; and whether adequate time is being allocated to Company matters, taking into account each Director’s other commitments. As part of the review, each Director completes, on a confidential basis, a self-appraisal questionnaire, and the Company Secretary collates the results and presents them to the Board for discussion. The Chairman leads a discussion of the questionnaire results with the Board as a whole and provides feedback to individual Directors as necessary. The Board last undertook a self-appraisal and evaluation in June 2022. |

| 1.7 | A listed entity should: (a) have and disclose a process for 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. |
Yes | The Board aims to undertakes an annual review of the performance of the MD&CEO, using where necessary an external consultant, against appropriate key performance indicators (KPI’s). These KPI’s can include both financial and non-financial targets. The MD&CEO is expected to undertake an annual review of his/her director reports (senior executives) in the same manner. During the reporting period, the Board conducted its annual review of the MD&CEO. This review focused on corporate achievements including whether corporate goals had been met. It also focused on individual contributions to those corporate achievements. |

It is intended that the skills matrix will be reviewed at least annually by the Board to ensure that ongoing needs in relation to supervising the Company and its operations are being met, and to take into account any changes in the Company’s circumstances and strategic priorities. A copy of the matrix is included in this report at Appendix A.

Yes | During the year ended 30 June 2022 there have been five Directors on the Board. The Board of Directors as at 30 June 2022 and at the date of this statement comprises: Mr David Chambers Independent Non-Executive Chairman (since 3/08/2018) Mr Michael Lampron Managing Director (since 24/06/2019) Mr Eliot Siegel, MD Independent Non-Executive Director (since 3/08/2018) Mr Robert Bazzani Independent Non-Executive Director (since 1/01/2020) Mr Philippe Houssiau Independent Non-Executive Director (since 1/01/2021) The Board has considered the circumstances of each Director and has determined that all non-executive Directors as at the date of this statement are independent Directors on the basis that they are free from any interest, position, association or relationship that might influence, or reasonably be perceived to influence the independent exercise of their judgement. Mr Lampron is not considered to be independent due to his executive role. In reaching the conclusions set out above, the Board considered the guidelines of materiality for the purpose of determining Director independence set out in the Board Charter and Box 2.3 of the Recommendations. The Board will continually assess whether there are any factors or considerations which may mean that a Director’s interest, position, association or relationship might influence, or reasonably be perceived to influence, the capacity of the Director to bring an independent judgement to bear on issues before the Board and to act in the best interests of Mach7 and its security holders generally.

| 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. |
Partially | The Board is tasked with ensuring that an effective induction process is in place for newly appointed Directors, and the review of those induction procedures. As Directors join the Board, they are given the opportunity to meet with every other non-executive Director, and the CEO, managing Director. During those discussions, they are provided with certain information about the business and are directed to the website which contains all relevant corporate governance policies and Charters, however the Board notes this process could be made more formal. The Board receives ongoing governance updates as required, including in relation to recent legislative and regulatory changes and developments in corporate governance. All Directors have ongoing access to information on the Company’s operations and to the Group’s senior management. |

Mr Robert Bazzani (Chair) – Non-executive, Independent; Dr. Eliot Siegel – Non-executive, Independent; Mr David Chambers – Non-executive, Independent. The audit-related role of the Audit and Risk Management Committee is to oversee Mach7’s financial reporting and its external audit functions. This includes confirming the quality and reliability of the financial information prepared by Mach7, working with the external auditor on behalf of the Board and reviewing non-audit services provided by the external auditor, to confirm that they are consistent with maintaining external audit independence. All Audit and Risk Management Committee members, including the Chair of the Committee, are considered to be independent Directors. The Chair of the Committee is not the Chair of the main Board. The Audit and Risk Management Committee’s functions and powers are formalised in a Charter, a copy of which is available on the Website. The Audit and Risk Management Committee will meet as often as is required by the Audit and Risk Management Committee Charter or other policy approved by the Board to govern the operations of the Audit and Risk Management Committee. The Chair of the Committee may invite other Directors, members of senior management and representatives of the external auditor to be present at meetings of the committee and seek advice from external advisers. The Audit and Risk Management Committee will regularly report to the Board about committee activities, issues and related recommendations. |

Yes | Mach7 has adopted a Long Term Incentive Plan (LTIP) to assist in the motivation, retention and reward of its employees. The LTIP is designed to align the interests of senior executives more closely with the interests of shareholders by providing an opportunity for senior executives to receive an equity interest in Mach7 through the granting of securities, the vesting of which is subject to satisfaction of certain performance or time-based conditions. A summary of the LTIP was provided in the Company’s notice of meeting for the General Meeting held on 11 November 2021, where a grant of LTIP was last approved by shareholders. Participants in the LTIP are not permitted to hedge or otherwise limit the economic risk of participating in the LTIP. In addition, the Company has adopted a Securities Trading Policy which prohibits Directors and senior executives and other key management personnel and their closely related parties from entering into any arrangement that would have the effect of, directly or indirectly, granting any form of security (whether by way of charge, mortgage, pledge or otherwise) over any Mach7 securities which are unvested or subject to a holding lock, to secure any obligation or enter into any margin lending arrangement involving the Company’s securities. A copy of the Company’s Securities Trading Policy is available on the Website. |
