Directors are expected to maintain the skills and knowledge required to discharge their duties and obligations. The Board is provided with Board papers, presentations, briefings, and information related to material developments in laws, regulations and industry frameworks that may affect the Mayne Pharma business. Directors are expected to undertake any necessary continuing professional education and training.
1.4 Independence of Directors
The Board recognises the important contribution that independent Directors make to good corporate governance. Each Director is required to bring unfettered and independent judgement.
The Board has reviewed the position and associations of each of the seven Directors in office at the date of this report and considers that five of the Directors are independent. In considering whether a director is independent, the Board has regard to the independence criteria in ASX Principle 2 and other facts, information and circumstances that the Board considers relevant. The Board assesses the independence of new Directors upon appointment and reviews their independence, and the independence of other Directors, at least annually.
The Board considers that Mr Condella, Mr Scholes, Mr Blake, Mr Robinson and Ms Dolan meet the independence criteria in ASX Principle 2 and have no material business or contractual relationship with the Company, other than as a Director.
In considering the independence of the Directors, the Board considered each Director’s tenure and concluded that Mr Scholes has not held office for such a period as to interfere with the exercise of independent judgement. In reaching this conclusion, the Board noted that no Director had formed associations with management that might compromise their ability to exercise independent judgement. Mr Richards is employed in an executive capacity and Dr Myers was nominated by a substantial shareholder of Mayne Pharma and therefore they are not considered to be independent.
The Directors will continue to monitor the composition of the Board to ensure its structure remains appropriate and consistent with effective management and good governance.
1.5 Retirement and Re-Election of Existing Directors
The Constitution of the Company requires one third of the Directors, other than Executive Directors, to retire from office at each Annual General Meeting. Directors who have been appointed by the Board during the year are required to retire from office at the next Annual General Meeting and are not taken into account in determining the number of Directors to retire at that Annual General Meeting. Directors cannot hold office for a period in excess of three years or later than the third Annual General Meeting following their appointment without submitting themselves for re-election. Retiring Directors are eligible for re-election by shareholders.

Mayne Pharma Corporate Governance Statement 2021
1.6 Nomination and Appointment of New Directors
Recommendations of candidates for new directors are made by the Nomination Committee for consideration by the Board as a whole. If it is necessary to appoint a new director to fill a vacancy on the Board or to complement the existing Board, a wide potential base of possible candidates is considered.
In making recommendations to the Board regarding the appointment of Directors, the Nomination Committee periodically assesses the appropriate mix of skills, experience and expertise required by the Board and the extent to which the required skills and experience are represented on the Board. The committee also takes account of other factors such as diversity and cultural fit. The identification of a potential director may be assisted by the use of external search organisations and detailed background information, including appropriate checks in relation to the potential candidate is provided to all Directors prior to any decisions being made. Nominations for appointment are then approved by the Board as a whole.
If a candidate is recommended by the Nomination Committee, the Board assesses that proposed new director against a range of criteria including background, experience, professional skills, personal qualities, the potential for the candidate’s skills to augment the existing Board and the candidate’s availability to commit to the Board’s activities. If these criteria are met and the Board appoints the candidate as a Director, that Director must retire at the next Annual General Meeting of shareholders and will be eligible for election by shareholders at that General Meeting.
New Directors are provided with a letter of appointment, setting out the terms of their appointment, including their powers, rights and obligations. An induction program is provided for new Directors to familiarise them with the business, history, culture, key risks, Board practises and procedures. This includes meetings with senior executives, site visits, provision of relevant corporate governance materials and policies and discussions with the Chair and other Directors.
1.7 Board Meetings
The Board meets formally at least ten times each year, and from time to time meetings are convened outside the scheduled dates to consider matters of importance. The Board met eleven times between 1 July 2020 and 30 June 2021.
The Directors’ attendance at Board meetings is detailed in the Annual Report.
The agenda for meetings is prepared by the Company Secretary, in conjunction with the Chair, Chief Executive Officer, and periodic input from the Board. Comprehensive Board papers are distributed to Directors in advance of scheduled meetings. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, all Board meetings have been held virtually by videoconference during FY21. Normally, Directors would attend board meetings in person at the Company’s head office and manufacturing facility based in Salisbury, South Australia or at the Company’s commercial offices in Melbourne, Victoria and Raleigh, North Carolina, USA or at the operating facility in Greenville, North Carolina, USA.
The Non-Executive Directors also meet regularly without management present.
1.8 Performance Review
The Board acknowledges the importance of regularly reviewing its own performance and effectiveness as well as the performance and effectiveness of its Committees and individual Directors.
The Board conducts an annual assessment of its performance and effectiveness. The performance evaluation involves the Directors completing an anonymous questionnaire/survey with results collated online. This annual assessment also covers the performance and effectiveness of the Board Committees. The Board discusses the outcomes of the survey and areas for improvement. The evaluation may establish goals and objectives for the Board and provide any recommendations for improvement to Board performance. The last Board performance evaluation was completed in August 2020. A Board performance evaluation is expected to be completed by November 2021 following the recent changes to the Board structure.
Each Director’s performance is evaluated annually by the Chair and the Chair invites Directors to evaluate his performance. The individual assessments are expected to be completed by November 2021.
1.9 Board Members’ Rights to Independent Advice
The Board has procedures to allow Directors, in the furtherance of their duties as directors or members of a Committee, to seek independent professional advice at the Company’s expense, subject to the prior written approval of the Chair.
2. Board Committees
The Board has established the following committees to advise and support the Board in carrying out its duties:
-
§ Audit and Risk Committee;
-
§ Nomination Committee;
-
§ Remuneration and People Committee; and
-
§ Science, Technology and Medical Committee.
Directors’ attendance at meetings of these committees is detailed in the Annual Report.

Mayne Pharma Corporate Governance Statement 2021
2.1 Audit and Risk Committee
It is the Board’s responsibility to ensure that an effective internal control framework exists within the Company, including internal controls to deal with both the effectiveness and efficiency of significant business processes. Effective internal controls include the safeguarding of assets, the maintenance of proper accounting records, managing and mitigating business risks and the reliability of financial information.
The Board has established an Audit and Risk Committee to assist and advise the Board in fulfilling its responsibilities to oversee the Company’s internal control framework, financial reporting obligations, risk management and adherence to legal and regulatory requirements. The Audit and Risk Committee operates under a Charter approved by the Board. The Charter was last reviewed and approved by the Board in June 2020.
The duties and responsibilities of the Audit and Risk Committee include:
-
§ ensuring appropriate accounting policies and procedures are defined, adopted and maintained;
-
§ ensuring that the operating and management reporting procedures, and the system of internal control, are of a sufficiently high standard to provide timely, accurate and relevant information as a sound basis for management of the Company’s business;
-
§ reviewing the Financial Statements for accuracy and to ensure they reflect a true and fair view, prior to their presentation to the Board;
-
§ reviewing the scope of work including approval of annual audit plans and effectiveness of the external and internal audit (if any) functions within the Company;
-
§ where an Internal Audit function exists, appointing, on recommendation by the Chief Executive Officer or CFO, a person(s) responsible for Internal Audit functions as specified from time to time and, where an Internal Audit function exists, reviewing the scope and adequacy of the internal audit work plan and the independence, objectivity and performance of the Internal Audit function;
-
§ making recommendations to the Board of Directors on the appointment, reappointment or replacement of the external auditors (subject, if applicable, to shareholder ratification), and monitoring the effectiveness and independence of the external auditors;
-
§ reviewing and approving the terms of engagement and fees of external auditors;
-
§ reviewing and making recommendations to the Board of Directors on the rotation of the audit engagement partner and the scope and the adequacy of the external audit;
-
§ reviewing and assessing non-audit and assurance-related services to be provided by external auditors, and considering the potential for those services to compromise external auditors’ judgement or the auditor independence requirements under the Corporations Act; and
-
§ obtaining an independence declaration from each external auditor, as required.
As and when required, the Audit and Risk Committee engages external consultants to review various aspects of the Group’s internal control environment, as the Company does not yet have an internal audit function. The Vice President, Global Governance Risk and Compliance (VP, GRC) role is an independent resource that periodically assesses the existence and adherence to established policies and procedures throughout the Company. The VP, GRC conducts multiple monitoring programs and when necessary, partners with both internal and external resources to test critical areas of the business. The VP, GRC conducts regular meetings with leaders in key operational functions like Finance, Environment Health & Safety, Human Resources and Legal, in addition to each of the Business Units and maintains an open line of communication with the Audit and Risk Committee. Separately, the VP, GRC is responsible for leading the implementation of the Company’s risk framework. This risk framework requires each business unit and functional leader to formally consider its risk environment, document identified risks and risk treatment plans, and periodically report on the progress of ongoing risk mitigation through the implementation of those treatment plans.
The operation and responsibilities of the Audit and Risk Committee are consistent with ASX Principle 4 and ASX Principle 7. The Committee met nine times during the financial year ended 30 June 2021.
The members of the Audit and Risk Committee at the date of this report were:
-
§ Mr I Scholes – Chair;
-
§ Mr P Blake; and
-
§ Ms N Dolan.
In addition to the members of the Committee, the CFO and the VP, GRC attend the Audit and Risk Committee meetings and representatives of the external auditors are invited to attend when appropriate.
2.2 Appointment of external auditors
The Audit and Risk Committee is responsible for making recommendations to the Board of Directors on the appointment, reappointment or replacement (subject, if applicable, to shareholder ratification) and the remuneration of the external auditors, and is responsible for monitoring of effectiveness and independence of the external auditors, including resolution of disagreements between management and the auditor regarding financial reporting.
The appointed external auditor is required to attend the Company’s Annual General Meeting to answer any questions from shareholders in relation to the audit.
The Committee must approve all audit and non-audit services provided by the external auditors and must not engage the external auditors to perform any non-audit/assurance services that may impair or appear to impair the external auditor’s
5
Mayne Pharma Corporate Governance Statement 2021
judgement or independence in respect of the Company. The Committee may delegate the approval authority to a member of the Committee. The decisions of any Audit and Risk Committee member to whom the approval authority is delegated must be presented to the full Committee at its next scheduled meeting.

3. Risk Management and Financial Reporting
3.1 Risk Identification and Management
The Board accepts that taking and managing risk is central to building shareholder value and the Board is responsible for the Group’s risk management strategy. Management is responsible for implementing the Board’s strategy and for developing a control infrastructure designed to identify and mitigate risks across operations.
The Company employs executives with the requisite experience and qualifications to enable the Board to manage the risks to the Company. The Board has requested the Audit and Risk Committee oversee the Group’s risk management processes and procedures.
The Company has implemented a Risk Management Policy with a detailed, structured approach to systematically identify, rank, mitigate, and monitor risks. This effort, led by the Governance, Risk & Control (GRC) function, is additive to ongoing risk management responsibilities that all employees engage in as they accomplish their daily tasks according to Company requirements. The Company maintains a risk register and material risks are regularly reported on and discussed with management, the Audit & Risk Committee and the Board.
The Group’s identification and management of business risks is based on AS/NZS ISO 31000:2009 and provides a framework under which the Company can categorise the risks that are faced by the Group; the likelihood, consequence and potential impact if the risk were to eventuate, and the residual risk faced by the Group given the existence of appropriate controls.
The risks faced by the Company are diverse and vary significantly in terms of the likelihood of the event occurring and the consequence of such an event. Each specific risk is identified in the risk register and allocated to a senior executive leader and managed through day-to-day operations and compliance with appropriate, tailored standards and controls.
7
Mayne Pharma Corporate Governance Statement 2021
The risk register is updated by the senior leadership team and reviewed by the Audit and Risk Committee. The Audit and Risk Committee last reviewed the complete risk register at its June 2021 meeting. Key risks, and the Company’s approach to managing these, are reviewed by the Audit and Risk Committee at least quarterly. The VP, GRC aims to lead a complete refresh of the risk register every two years, with the most recent refresh completed in FY21. The VP, GRC and Management regularly report to the Audit and Risk Committee and the Board on material business risks and emerging risks, with periodic reporting as well as face to face discussions in Board meetings and management presentations.
The VP, GRC works closely with the Audit and Risk Committee and the senior leadership team to strengthen the Group’s risk management processes.
Mayne Pharma strives to provide a dynamic, rewarding and safe place to work and is committed to acting consistently with the highest ethical standards and in strict compliance with the law in all its operations. To achieve this there are important standards and rules that all Directors, executives and other employees must be aware of and follow, that ensure all actions and decisions support the Company’s values, vision and objectives. The Company’s Business Code of Conduct covers a broad range of matters and refers to those practices necessary to maintain confidence in the Company’s integrity. See further discussion below in the Conduct and Ethics section.
3.2 Integrity in Financial Reporting and other periodic corporate reports
Consistent with ASX Principle 4.2, the Company’s financial report preparation and approval process for the financial year ended 30 June 2021 involved both the Chief Executive Officer and the CFO providing detailed representations to the Board covering:
-
§ compliance with the Company’s accounting policies and relevant accounting standards;
-
§ the accuracy of the financial statements and that they provide a true and fair view;
-
§ integrity and objectivity of the financial statements; and
-
§ the effectiveness of the system of internal control.
The Board has received a declaration from the Chief Executive Officer and the CFO that, in their opinion, the financial records of the Company have been properly maintained and that the financial statements comply with the appropriate accounting standards and give a true and fair view of the financial position and performance of the Company and that the opinion has been formed on the basis of a sound system of risk management and internal control which is operating effectively.
The Group’s external auditor audits, or in the case of the half year, reviews the Group’s financial reports in accordance with the relevant accounting standards. Where a corporate report is not subject to audit or review by an external auditor, management adopts a comprehensive process to prepare, verify and satisfy itself that the report is balanced and materially accurate, and provides investors with appropriate information to make informed investment decisions. The verification process includes management and operational reviews by the responsible senior executives and involves crosschecking material statements to original source reports. All material documents released to the market are subject to final sign-off and approval by the relevant members of the senior leadership team, the CEO and the Board. The Board and its Committees review and approve statutory and other material corporate reports prior to their release to the market.
3.3 Whistleblower Protection Policy
Mayne Pharma has a Misconduct and Whistleblower policy that provides a framework for employees and others to raise concerns about misconduct or activities that do not comply with the Company’s policies and provides detail on the Company’s commitment to treat people with respect when they speak out if faced with an integrity or other ethical concern. Employees are encouraged to make reports as early as possible, and can raise matters of concern with their supervisors, the Company’s human resources, compliance or legal teams or by making an anonymous report through the Company’s whistleblower hotline, which is administered by an independent third party. Details of all whistleblower reports and investigations are reported to the Audit & Risk Committee.
Employees are trained on this policy and reminded of the independent whistleblower hotline annually. Periodic surveys are conducted to assess and strengthen awareness of the Policy. A copy of the Misconduct and Whistleblower Policy can be accessed on the corporate governance section of the Company’s website. It was last reviewed in June 2021.
3.4 Anti-Corruption and Anti-Bribery
The Company’s Business Code of Conduct and Anti-Bribery and Anti-Corruption Policy outline Mayne Pharma’s zero tolerance policy towards bribery and corruption. The Company has a robust training program to give our employees the awareness and knowledge to comply with applicable laws and regulations and to reinforce that the Company will not tolerate any act of impropriety. Our activities must comply not only with Company policies but with applicable laws in all countries in which we do business. A copy of the Anti-Corruption and Anti-Bribery Policy can be accessed on the corporate governance section of the Company’s website. It was last reviewed August 2021.
Our policy prohibits the offer, promise or giving of any payment or benefit at any time to an individual or entity for the purpose of improperly influencing decisions or actions with respect to our business. This applies to direct engagements (e.g., those driven by our Company) as well as to indirect engagements (e.g., those managed through a third-party intermediary or partner). We conduct Anti-Bribery / Anti-Corruption training with relevant employees who engage with third parties including government officials. Our agreements with third party distributors who market and sell our products contain obligations requiring the distributors to comply with all relevant Anti-Bribery / Anti-Corruption laws and regulations. Mayne

Mayne Pharma Corporate Governance Statement 2021
Pharma’s Supplier Code of Conduct requires our suppliers to abide by relevant Anti-Bribery / Anti-Corruption laws and regulations.
Details of any material breaches of this policy are reported to the Audit & Risk Committee.
3.5 Anti-Competitive Behaviour
Mayne Pharma’s compliance program ensures employees are aware of and have the relevant knowledge to comply with anti-trust laws and regulations (sometimes referred to as competition law). Anti-trust laws differ across different jurisdictions so training and other elements of the program are tailored as required to ensure that employees are aware of the laws and regulations that affect them.
The Business Code of Conduct outlines general principles to safeguard against violations of anti-trust/competition law. These principles are expanded in a Global Anti-Trust and Competition Policy and in training programs provided to those employees who interact with external parties and are therefore at risk of engaging in or witnessing anti-competitive conduct. Training is conducted in small groups on a regular basis, with examples provided to explain how the laws and regulations may affect each person’s day-to-day work and when an issue may arise so they are able to respond appropriately.
Mayne Pharma has significantly strengthened its anti-trust compliance program in recent years and continues to enhance its policy and supporting procedures around anti-trust compliance and its pricing function.
- 3.6 Social and environmental risks
The Company identifies and manages economic, environmental and social sustainability risks as part of its risk management approach. Key risks are identified in the Annual Financial Statements each year with details around the nature of the risk and action / plans to mitigate those risks.
The Company has identified the following sustainability issues most material to its business and are important to key stakeholders such as investors, consumers, customers, supplier, governments and employees.
-
§ Employee health and safety: Ensuring our employees work in a safe environment, which meets or exceeds relevant regulatory expectations, addresses health and safety concerns as they arise and mitigates the risk of reoccurrence of incidents.
-
§ Product quality and safety: Choosing materials from quality sources, complying with current Good Manufacturing Practice, and delivering safe products to customers. Mayne Pharma aims to adhere to or exceed strict regulatory standards in all jurisdictions that it serves, and investigates all concerns to ensure our products maintain the highest quality.
-
§ Ethical purchasing and human rights in the supply chain: Responsibility to partners to ensure our product line is free from human rights concerns such as forced labour and trafficking, unsafe labour standards and unfair treatment. These issues can arise wherever human resources are utilised across the supply chain.
-
§ Corruption and bribery: Business must be conducted with transparency, and free from unethical persuasion. Ethical business practices relate to every aspect of Mayne Pharma’s business, from identifying product sources, through development of pharmaceuticals, transactions with regulatory bodies and sale to customers.
-
§ Compliance: Responsibility to drive compliance with legal and regulatory requirements applicable to our global business. Includes development of policies and controls, communication and training, oversight and continuous improvement and striving for best-practice. Consequently, compliance affects every aspect of what we do, to deliver quality products to consumers.
-
§ Resource use and waste management: Includes energy usage during manufacture and logistics, water usage and waste as a by-product of manufacture. Stakeholders increasingly demand disclosure of resource usage and waste management for a more sustainable product investment.
-
§ Product pricing and accessibility: Strategies and initiatives designed to provide more affordable pharmaceutical pricing and accessibility to products for patients through development, manufacture and marketing of high-quality generic and branded products.
Further information about our sustainability risks is included under the ‘Sustainability’ section of the Mayne Pharma website.

The Board has adopted a Market Disclosure Policy, which is available from the corporate governance section of the Company’s website. The Market Disclosure Policy was approved by the Board in March 2021.

It also sets out the methods of shareholder engagement including ASX releases, annual reports and the annual general meetings to encourage shareholders and other interested parties to ask questions and vote on key Board actions.
Mayne Pharma communicates formally with all its shareholders at least three times a year at:
-

§ Annual General Meeting (AGM)
The Company actively encourages shareholders to embrace the benefits of electronic communication.

The Company maintains an email alert system that advises investors, and any other interested parties when important media releases, financial announcements, presentations and annual reports are released to the ASX.
The Board recognises that shareholders and prospective new investors are entitled to receive timely and relevant high-quality information about the Company. Mayne Pharma has an investor relations program to facilitate two-way communication with investors.
The Company recognises the importance of shareholder participation in general meetings and encourages that participation. Shareholders are able to register their voting instructions electronically and voting on any resolutions at an AGM is conducted by poll. Further, shareholders are provided with an opportunity to ask questions or make comments ahead of, or during, the AGM. In 2020, Mayne Pharma moved to a live webcast for its AGM following the impact of COVID-19. Shortly after the AGM concludes, we make available on our website an archived video of the webcast.
The Company holds briefings with investors and analysts throughout the year around financial results and other significant announcements. The Company will lodge all presentation materials with the ASX prior to the presentation commencing if it contains new material information.

6. Remuneration, Diversity and Inclusion
6.1 Executive remuneration
As part of the Board’s commitment to align remuneration with Company performance, employee performance is reviewed annually against agreed performance objectives set prior to the commencement of the financial year. The Company’s performance review system involves employees completing a self-assessment template, as well as their manager completing an assessment document. These assessments form the basis of a performance review discussion between each employee and their manager.
The Board (through the Remuneration and People Committee) agrees objectives for the evaluation of the CEO. The performance of the CEO against the agreed objectives is reviewed by the Chair on behalf of the Board. The performance of the other KMP and other senior executives is reviewed by the CEO and reported to, and discussed by, the Board. Performance reviews have taken place shortly after the end of the financial year.
Further details about Mayne Pharma’s remuneration approach is set out in the Remuneration Report which is contained in the 2021 Annual Report.
6.2 Executive employment arrangements
All our senior executives have written employment agreements, and detailed background checks are undertaken before employment offers are finalised.
6.3 Diversity and inclusion
The Board recognises that a diverse and inclusive workforce is not only good for our employees but also good for business performance. Diversity enables the Group to attract and retain talented people, create more innovative solutions and be more flexible and responsive to our customers’ and shareholders’ needs. The Board has developed a diversity policy which was last approved and reviewed in September 2020. A copy of the diversity policy can be accessed on the corporate governance section of the Company’s website.
Mayne Pharma supports employees to achieve an appropriate work-life balance, promotes and rewards employees based on skills, experience and merit and promotes a workplace is free from discrimination and harassment.

The Corporate Governance Statement is accurate and up to date as at [insert effective date of statement] and has been approved by the board.
The annexure includes a key to where our corporate governance disclosures can be located.[3]
Date: 18 October 2021 Name of authorised officer: Laura Loftus authorising lodgement: 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.
