RECOMMENDATIONS (4TH EDITION) COMPLY EXPLANATION
Recommendation 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 objectives 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
(B) if the entity is a “relevant employer” under the
Workplace Gender Equality Act, the entity’s most
recent “Gender Equality Indicators”, as defined in
and published under that Act.
If the entity was in the S&P / ASX 300 Index at the
commencement of the reporting period, the measurable
objective for achieving gender diversity in the composition
of its board should be to have not less than 30% of its
directors of each gender within a specified period.
PARTIALLY (a)
The Company has adopted a Diversity Policy which provides a
framework for the Company to establish, achieve and measure
diversity objectives, including in respect of gender diversity. The
Diversity Policy is available, as part of the Corporate Governance
Plan, on the Company’s website.
(b)
The Diversity Policy allows the Board to set measurable gender
diversity objectives and to continually monitor both the objectives
if any have been set and the Company’s progress in achieving
them.
(c)
Given the current small size of the Board and Company’s
operations, the Board does not presently intend to set measurable
gender diversity objectives because:
(i)
the Board does not anticipate there will be a need to
appoint any new Directors or senior executives due to the
limited nature of the Company’s existing and proposed
activities and the Board’s view that the existing Directors
and senior executives have sufficient skill and experience
to carry out the Company’s plans;
(ii)
if it becomes necessary to appoint any new Directors or
senior executives, the Board will consider the application
of the measurable diversity objectives and determine
whether, given the small size of the Company and the
Board, requiring specified objectives to be met will unduly
limit the Company from applying the Diversity Policy as a
whole and the Company’s policy of appointing the best
person for the job; and
(iii)
the respective proportions of men and women on the
Board, in senior executive positions and across the whole
organisation (including how the entity has defined “senior
executive” for these purposes) for each financial year will
be disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report.
Recommendation 1.6

These pages of our annual report: This URL on our https://noronexlimited.com.au/corporate-governance/ website:

The Corporate Governance Statement is accurate and up to date as at 30 September 2022 and has been approved by the board.

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

Date: 30 September 2022 Name of authorised officer Sebastian Andre authorising lodgement:

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.
