Cor orate Governance Statement p

The Company is committed to implementing the highest standards of corporate governance. In determining what those high standards should involve the Company has considered the ASX Corporate Governance Council’s Principles of Good Corporate Governance and Recommendations .

In line with the above, the Board has set out the way forward for the Company in its implementation of its Principles of Good Corporate Governance and Recommendations. The approach taken by the board was to set a blueprint for the Company to follow as it introduces elements of the governance process. Due to the current size of the Company and the scale of its operations it is neither practical nor economic for the adoption of all of the recommendations approved via the board charter. Where the Company has not adhered to the recommendations it has stated that fact in this Corporate Governance Statement however has set out a mandate for future compliance when the size of the Company and the scale of its operations warrants the introduction of those recommendations. Date of last review and Board approval: 29 September 2020.

Committee
Charter,

Given the current size and composition of the Board, the Company does not have a separate Audit
Committee. Accordingly, the Board performs the role of Audit Committee.
Items that are usually required to be discussed by an Audit Committee are discussed at a separate
meeting when required. When the Board convenes as the Audit Committee it carries out those
functions which are delegated to it in the Company’s Audit Committee Charter. The Board deals with
any conflicts of interest that may occur when convening in the capacity of the Audit Committee by
ensuring that the Director with conflicting interests is not party to the relevant discussions.
To assist the Board to fulfil its function as the Audit Committee, the Company has adopted an Audit
Committee Charter which describes the role, composition, functions and responsibilities of the Audit
Committee. All of the Directors consider themselves to be financially literate and possess relevant
industry experience.
The Company has established procedures for the selection, appointment and rotation of its external
auditor. The Board is responsible for the initial appointment of the external auditor and the
appointment of a new external auditor when any vacancy arises, as recommended by the Audit
Committee (or its equivalent). Candidates for the position of external auditor must demonstrate
complete independence from the Company through the engagement period. The Board may
otherwise select an external auditor based on criteria relevant to the Company's business and
circumstances. The performance of the external auditor is reviewed on an annual basis by the Audit
Committee (or its equivalent) and any recommendations are made to the Board.
The Charter of the Audit and Risk Committee can be found at Schedule 3 of the Company’s Corporate
Governance Plan, located on the Company’s website.

with any conflicts of interest that may occur when convening in the capacity of the Risk Committee
by ensuring that the Director with conflicting interests is not party to the relevant discussions.
